Open Badges are digital credentials that represent skills, achievements, or learning experiences. They are designed to be easily shared and verified online, allowing individuals to showcase their accomplishments in a visual format. Each badge contains metadata that provides information about the issuer, the criteria for earning the badge, and the evidence supporting the achievement. These badges can be earned through various activities, such as completing courses, participating in workshops, or demonstrating specific skills. Open Badges promote lifelong learning by enabling learners to collect and display their achievements across different platforms, enhancing their professional profiles and educational portfolios.
