A digital badge is an online representation of a skill you’ve earned. Open Badges benefit an employer or hiring manager. Open Badges are verifiable, portable digital badges with embedded metadata about skills and achievements. They comply with the Open Badges Specification and are shareable across the web.
Linked Data empowers people that publish and use information on the Web. It is a way to create a network of standards-based, machine-readable data across Web sites. It allows an application to start at one piece of Linked Data, and follow embedded links to other pieces of Linked Data that are hosted on different sites across the Web.
Open Badges communicate skills and achievements by providing visual symbols of accomplishments packed with verifiable data and evidence that can be shared across the web. Open Badges empower individuals to take their learning with them, wherever they go, building a rich picture of their lifelong learning journey.
The VDCI digital credential aligns with the MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning initiative, which supports a new approach to credentialing learning called “digital badges.” Digital badging is a powerful new framework for designing learning that is engaging, relevant, and prepares people for a highly connected, technology-enabled 21st century.
The MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning initiatives’ goal is broad adoption of the principles, practices, and products of Connected Learning. The increased availability and accessibility of digital media have changed the ways in which people learn, socialize, play, and engage in civic life.
