The document discusses emerging uses of digital badges to represent skills and achievements online. It provides examples of badges in scouting and for online tasks. There is an opportunity for badges to combine technical and social skills valued by employers. The document proposes open and experimental approaches to validating badges so that learners can aggregate skills from different sources, educators can engage learners in new ways, and employers can easily find people with relevant abilities. Success would involve badges being taken seriously within 3-5 years.
