Badges for Learning
Reconnect Learning is an outgrowth of efforts to both research and support the growing badge ecosystem. From the 2011 launch of the Badges for Lifelong Learning Competition to the creation of Mozilla’s Open Badges platform, work around badging has intensified in recent years. Led by MacArthur, HASTAC and Mozilla, Reconnect Learning is designed to support and encourage conversation, innovation, research, design and implementation of digital badging.

Badges: New Currency for Professional Credentials
WCET, Blackboard, Mozilla, and Sage Road Solutions initiated an international discussion on the role of badges as a new currency of exchange for high value, post-secondary credentials for professionals commencing September 2013. This collection of videos are resources developed by this joint effort.
The Mozilla Open Badges (Open Badge Infrastructure or OBI) project is a program by Mozilla that issues digital badges to recognize skills and achievements. The badge structure allows one to display real-world achievements and skills which may help with future career and education opportunities. The OBI allows badge issuers and developers to build badges, and allows online learners to choose from a number of different pathways for development.
