What is a Badge?
• badge [baj]: a special or distinctive mark, token, or device
worn as a sign of allegiance, membership, authority,
achievement, etc. (Source: Dictionary.com)
• A badge is a symbol or indicator of an accomplishment, skill,
quality or interest. From the Boy and Girl Scouts, to PADI
diving instruction, to the more recently popular geo-location
game, Foursquare, badges have been successfully used to set
goals, motivate behaviours, represent achievements and
communicate success in many contexts.

15. Digital Badges vs Open Badges
• A digital badge is an online representation of a skill you’ve earned. Open Badges
take that concept one step further, and allows you to verify your skills,
interests and achievements through credible organizations and attaches that
information to the badge image file, hard-coding the metadata for future
access and review.
• Because the system is based on an open standard, earners can combine multiple
badges from different issuers to tell the complete story of their achievements —
both online and off.
• Badges can be displayed wherever earners want them on the web, and share them
for employment, education or lifelong learning.
