> Open Badges provide a flexible way to recognize learning wherever it happens, in and out of formal education and the workplace. They can represent any achievement from simple participation to evidence-backed competency development. > By adopting the Open Badges Specification you are joining over 3,000 organizations across the world who believe in supporting a global Specification that enables individuals to capture and share the richer picture of who they are. edX supports Badgr (OpenBadges) - OpenBadges Backpack is now Badgr - https://badgr.com - https://github.com/concentricsky/badgr-server (Django API) - https://github.com/concentricsky/badgr-ui (Angular 2 UI) - https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/configuration/enable_badging.html - https://github.com/edx/credentials Blockcerts (W3C Verifiable Claims) - https://www.blockcerts.org/guide/roadmap.html - [ ] OpenBadges Verifiable Claims compatibility - https://github.com/w3c/verifiable-claims - https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/ - https://w3c.github.io/vc-use-cases/#education ... https://gist.github.com/westurner/4345987bb29fca700f52163c339a270f On Thursday, January 24, 2019, kirby urner <kirby.ur...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Charles (fond memories from Google App Engine days... we met at a Pycon > in Chicago years ago)... > > Issuing some proof of completion, in certificate form (an actual document > with their name on it, could be PDF) helps your enrollees put something on > their resume.
