== Rangoli - dynamic badge idea == | |||
Rangoli is a traditional decorative folk art of India. They are decorative designs on floors of living rooms and courtyards during Hindu festivals. | |||
On aspect of many Rangoli is that they are created using some mathematical pattern that is repeated over and over (sometimes fractal like, sometimes simply redrawing based on symmetric moves). Often Rangoli start out as simple while lines and then color is added in to add complexity, such as in the example below. | |||

The idea of "Rangoli" badges is that a users badge could be updated over time. So for example, if a person begins down a path of learning a particular topic he or she may be given a rangoli-style badge. As this person continues to explore the topic their rangoli will be updated with added color and complexity. | |||
One inspiration for rangoli badges is the idea that you would be giving recognition and acknowledgement for an individuals persistence of staying with a particular path of learning rather than trying to assess whether or not they have gained new skills or competencies within a given domain or topic. | |||
