Digital Badges (Achievements, Merits etc.)

[Sean_M]

Hi All

A staff member brought up incorporating Digital Badges into Frog (for free). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them, I hadn't really come across them before but some info and e.g. here;

https://openbadges.org/

https://www.iteachgroup.com/digitalbadges 

Looks perfect to add to e-portfolios, Anything on this floating around already?

Any thoughts to cleverly issue them, display on student e-portfolios but also allow them to be taken with them once they leave school. Any integrations into the Frog platform possible?

Thanks,

Sean.

I have a good deal of experience with digital badges and have had some ideas on work arounds for the badges and using Progress as a badging system, let me know.  I am also writing a longer post in the General Chat about this as well.  

 

Cheers
