Open badges are defined as ‘visual digital tokens of achievement, affiliation, authorization or some other trust relationship shareable across the web’. Unlike digital badges, which are defined as ‘online representation of skills and achievements of an individual’, open digital badges are verified ‘through credible organizations’ by ‘attaching the information about gained skills and achievements to the badge image file, hard-coding the metadata for future access and review’.
Open badges comply with a technical specification and set of associated open source software designed to enable the creation and issuing of verifiable credentials across a broad spectrum of learning experiences.
