The 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contain explicit references to persons with disabilities (Sustainable Development Goal 4, SDG 8, SDG 10, SDG 11, and SDG 17), interconnecting these with the CRPD.
The Internet is an essential tool to access and provide information and services, particularly during a worldwide pandemic. A lack of accessible online information on how to prevent transmission of the virus by following guidelines, etc. may have fatal consequences for persons with disabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic is deepening preexisting inequalities, and persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected. Read the UN disability-inclusive Response to COVID-19.

Reflecting on the Evolving Badges and Credentials Ecosystem | WAO | We Are Open Co-op
- Open Badges and Digital Badges are both visual.
- Verifiable Credentials, on the other hand, may use images, but do not have to
- The great thing about the move to Verifiable Credentials is that decentralised identifers can be used (as well as email addresses) to identify recipients.
- A microcredential is not a separate technical standard.
- Open Recognition is not a separate technical standard but rather a philosophical position about the nature of recognition in society.
- somewhat at odds with the idea of a ‘credential’.
- An Open Badge should live, not gather dust in a drawer.
- And if a badge is fake, it’s up to the humans to say so, the humans in the community of practice or professional who can spot a crook
- Different countries and cultures have varying expectations when it comes to education, skills development, and the recognition of learning.

Reflecting on a decade of Open Badges | Doug Belshaw | WAO | We Are Open Co-op
- There was a growing recognition that badges were useful tools for marketing, for talent acquisition, and for team formation.
- standardise on frameworks within badges were issued, for example the European MOOC Consortium who established the Common Microcredential framework.
- CAYG focuses on incremental credentialing in an attempt rather than the all-or-nothing approaches of bachelor’s degrees and the like.
- The next step, which is the move to Open Badges 3.0 and alignment with the W3C’s Verifiable Credentials standard, will be an interesting one.
