Mozilla Open Badges is a digital credentialing system that allows individuals to earn and display badges for their skills and achievements. These badges can represent various accomplishments, such as completing a course, mastering a skill, or participating in a project. Each badge contains metadata that provides information about the issuer, the criteria for earning it, and the evidence supporting the achievement. The system promotes lifelong learning by enabling learners to showcase their skills in a visual format. Badges can be shared on social media, websites, or digital portfolios, making it easier for employers and peers to recognize and validate an individual's capabilities.
