In this OBF Academy session we discussed about new features related to OBF and OBP. One of them gives badge issuers the possibility to advertise their badges and badge applications in Open Badge Passport. That way they can reach a bigger audience and also make their operations more visible. It's also a great way for badge earners to know what kind of learning is available in their own country but also elsewhere in the world. That way they will be able to create new badge paths for themselves.

1. “Deeper” integration of OBF and OBP
More benefits for OBF users
Eric Rousselle
CEO, Discendum Ltd. and Open Badge Factory

2. • An open and free badge repository, micro-
portfolio and badge earner community
• Open means that users can upload standard
Open Badges issued by any issuing platform
• Plan is to extend our API so that any badge
issuing platform can push badges into the
Passport
• At the same time, we will implement a deeper
integration between OBF and OBP, which will
bring a lot of benefits to OBF users
