Open Badges provide a way to recognize learning both inside and outside of formal education. They use a universal standard to represent achievements visually as badges that can be earned and displayed in many contexts online. The Open Badges Infrastructure (OBI) creates a shared ecosystem where issuers can create badges, earners can collect badges to display on profiles and sites, and an API and metadata specification ensure interoperability. Open Badges aim to complement traditional credentials by acknowledging a broader range of skills and recognizing learning that occurs through various pathways.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Capturing of informal learning. Formal learning already has methods of capturing learning in the guise of diplomas and certificates. They can supplement traditional socially-accepted acknowledgements. They’re easily comprehensible, extensible and referenceable. A nice in-between a degree and nothing.
- #4: What if learning were more like the web? Open, remixable, free.
- #5: Visual and in our case Digital representations of formal & informal learning. All badges are earned .
- #6: They can act within formal, traditional learning venues and they can accommodate new, alternative learning practices.
- #7: Formal and informal learning.
- #8: Badges are extremely flexible: they can be adapted to highlight hard skills but they can also represent the extremely important soft skills: such as peer mentorship or community involvement or .
- #9: Badges are extremely flexible: they can be adapted to highlight hard skills but they can also represent the extremely important soft skills: such as peer mentorship or community involvement or .
- #11: This conversation does not have to be adversarial, but instead can accommodate both traditionally recognized validations of learning and skills as well as new and informal alternative credentials.
- #14: As a part of our commitment to learning on the web, Mozilla Foundation is creating the open badge infrastructure. We hope this infrastructure will extend the value of badges from each issuer across the entire badge ecosystem, making it easy for learners to collect and combine badges across various websites, networks and applications.
