'''''How does it work?''''' Any '''BADGE ISSUER '''(for example, an after-school programs, free online course, or vocational institute) can award certified '''BADGES''' to learners like you. Learners can then collect and manage their badges in a '''BADGE BACKPACK'''. This makes it easy to display your skills and achievements across a range of different '''DISPLAY SITES''' -- from your personal resume or web site, to social networking profiles, to employment sites. The result? Jobs, new learning opportunities and unlocked privileges. | '''''How does it work?'''''

The project consists of several parts: | |||
=== Open Badge Infrastructure === | |||
Mozilla's Open Badge infrastructure provides the open, core technology to support an ecosystem of badges. It is designed to support a broad range of different badge issuers, and allow any user to earn badges across different issuers, web sites and experiences, then combine them into a single collection tied to their identity. This collection of badges can then be shared out to various audiences across the web, resulting in real-world results like jobs or formal credit. | |||
*'''Open Badge Infrastructure status''': beta1, released September 14, 2011 ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges/infrastructure-tech-docs '''documentation'''], [https://github.com/brianlovesdata/openbadges '''source code''']) | |||
=== Badge system prototypes and pilot programs<br> === | |||
Mozilla and P2PU are also building a pilot badge system for the School of Webcraft, offering free, open, peer-based training for web developers. | |||
*'''STATUS''': pilot, planning for phase 2 ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges/Pilot_programs '''Learn More''']) | |||
=== Conceptual framework and innovation in assessment and credentials === | |||
Mozilla is collaborating with thought leaders and innovators in assessment and credentials to inform wider efforts. | |||
*'''STATUS''': current version of the working badge paper ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:OpenBadges-Working-Paper_092011.pdf '''Download''']) | |||
