Together we make
skill acquisition visible
Badges are digital credentials that, like certificates, can be easily and time-efficiently awarded and collected to make learning achievements and skill acquisition visible - both for digital learning opportunities and for on-site offerings.
Our goals for
OPEN EDUCATIONAL BADGES
I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO!
We strengthen the sovereignty of learners by giving them transparency about their skills.
Building bridges
We make extracurricular skill acquisition equally visible and thereby promote it.
Open Educational Badges consists of three elements:
A technical solution for awarding and collecting badges. This functionality can be embedded into existing learning environments via a plug-in.
A standardized, open and scalable competence framework based on ESCO, which ensures the value of the badges and enables cross-institutional learning.
An open community that creates, awards, and acquires badges, while simultaneously ensuring their quality through a community review principle.
Open Educational Badges are therefore shareable, scalable, connectable, and thus a new currency is created to map skills.
This is how you can use Open Educational Badges.
