This document discusses open badges, which are digital representations of achievements, skills, and learning that can capture both formal and informal learning experiences. Open badges use metadata to provide verification and are displayed online. The document notes that over 800 organizations have issued over 4,000 open badges, including schools, universities, and companies. It also outlines a proposed process for designing open badges to recognize technology skills in UK secondary students, including defining the audience, components, pathways, resources needed, and design of the badges.

Editor's Notes
- #6: ...and a newly-redesigned website. Mozilla have recently hired a number of people who were on the Obama 2012 campaign, including our new Communications Director Erica Sackin. She’s revamped the way badges are explained on the site, for the better I think. Steve Bunce likes it because it includes the word ‘knit’!
- #8: Mozilla is a global, nonprofit organization dedicated to making the Web better. We believe that the Web is a shared public resource to be cared for, not a commodity to be sold. Mozilla works with a worldwide community to create open source products like Mozilla Firefox, and to innovate for the benefit of the individual and the betterment of the Web.
- #10: Workforce.io is like a value-added version of LinkedIn: http://workforce.io/
- #11: … and NASA has badges for their robotics program: http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/dln/special/DigitalBadges.html
- #16: Badge title Badge description Badge criteria Badge issuer Evidence URL issue date recipient expiration date evidence URL
- #17: An Open Badge is a metadata-infused credential.Metadata is data about data. So in the same way that the index of a book has information about what's contained the book, so a badge has information inside it.

- #30: Badges are extremely flexible: they can be adapted to highlight hard skills but they can also represent the extremely important soft skills: such as peer mentorship or community involvement or .
- #32: This conversation does not have to be adversarial, but instead can accommodate both traditionally recognized validations of learning and skills as well as new and informal alternative credentials.
- #38: - Simple but series questions need to answer, we thought it would be good to take a canvas approach, visualise the whole badge design - Design focused on VALUE first – what happens if I earn this badge – explores how eco-system builds up
- #43: This is where we want to get to, place discover badges, follow own interests, gain recognition.
