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.
