There is a need to balance several competing goals in developing a badge system for P2PU. Many people advocate that badges should be relatively easy to acquire and can be a fun and playful motivational factor. Others believe that awarding badges should be done as part of a deeper-strategy to assessment recognition, with a heavy focus on formative assessment over summative assessment. And others are keen to see badges awarded as a way to create an alternative accreditation model in which summative assessment of hard skills is of the utmost importance.
 
 
To balance these different goals of badges, one idea is for any one badge to have different "degree" or "rank" associated with it. For the sake of this document, we have deviced three different ranks defined below.
 
;Bronze Badge
:If a given badge is Bronze then it was awarded either through self-assessment or by simple metrics in the system.
 
;Silver Badge
:A silver badge indicates that the badge was awarded by at least one peer. 
 
;Gold Badge
:A gold badge must also have a review by at least one peer, but it signifies a greater achievement. For example, this could signify a more stringent review process; multiple peer reviews; third-party (off-site) confirmation; etc.
 
 
For example, consider a person who is awarded a badge for 'answering other peopel's questions', they may recieve a
 
* ''Bronze version'' of this badge after a few of their responses in a discussion thread were added to the system (perhaps with some minor requirement, such as not being marked as spam).
* ''Silver version'' of this badge when, perhaps, a peer has reviewed one or more of their comments in a discussion thread and found them to be helpful.
* ''Gold version'' of this badge after five different peers on five different discussion threads marked their responses as being.
 
 
== Communication Badges ==
 
=== Answering questions ===
 
A person could earn this badge by providing helpful responses to people's questions in comment threads, public email lists, or over IRC or other communication channels.
 
'''Bronze badge'''. This could be earned simply by very simple moderation of others indicating that a response was helpful or not on a given discussion thread.
'''Silver badge'''. There could be a more thorough review process of a persons discussion threads or a "submit for badge" option that another user in the community could nominate the person for the badge.
'''Gold badge'''. This could be awarded to a person when they have earned a silver badge across three different courses or projects.
