Again, we’ll help you. | ||
=== How do I create a criteria page? === | |||
OpenBadger, the issuing tool we’ll be using for the Chicago badges, will generate and host the criteria page for you based on the criteria information you will provide us over the next couple of months. If your organization has a website and you’d like to host your own criteria pages, talk to us: badges@mozillafoundation.org | |||
=== What does the Issuer API do? === | |||
Let’s you connect your website to the Open Badge Infrastructure so that your users can push their badges to their Badge Backpacks. If your organization has a website, we’ll help you work with the API. If you don’t have a website and just plan to use offline or email issuing, you won’t need to use the Issuer API. | |||
=== How do earners display their badges? === | |||
Earners can view their badges in their Badge Backpack and share out individual or groups of badges from there. There will also be a Summer of Learning website, where earners can see and share their badges and find additional badges to earn. | |||
=== Where will I go for technical support? === | |||
Mozilla is helping to drive the technical components of this campaign. We will help you get your badges created and up and running over the coming months. You can always reach us at badges@mozillafoundation.org or on the #badges channel of irc.mozilla.org. | |||
Email support is provided by mailing support@openbadges.org. | |||
