What is Badge System Design
Learning today happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. But it's often difficult to get recognition for skills and achievements that happen outside of school. Mozilla's Open Badges project is working to solve that problem, making it easy for anyone to issue, earn and display badges across the web -- through a shared infrastructure that's free and open to all. The result: helping people of all ages learn and display 21st century skills, unlock career and educational opportunities, and find new life pathways.

- Join our weekly community calls
- Please join our weekly open, public Research + Badge System Design community calls on Wednesdays at 8am PT.
- The calls alternate between Research topics and Badge System Design topics. During these 60 minute calls we explore questions about both research and badge system design. We share our own thinking and our community members thinking about badge system design fundamentals, we highlight ongoing work, blog posts, and thoughts by community members.
