The document discusses the open badges design projects at Beuth University in Berlin. It describes three open badges projects the university has undertaken: 1) a qualification program to help migrant academics find employment using open badges to recognize their skills, 2) a university project focused on developing digital skills, and 3) an Erasmus project creating an open badge network. It then provides details on the badge design process, which involves defining competencies, conceptual design using a badge canvas, visual design in Illustrator, and issuing badges through platforms like Moodle or Open Badge Factory. Research theses are also exploring employer perceptions and user design preferences around open badges.
