Learning today happens everywhere, not just in the classroom. But it's often difficult to get recognition for skills and achievements that happen outside of school. '''Mozilla's Open Badges project''' is working to solve that problem, making it easy for anyone to issue, earn and display badges across the web -- through a shared infrastructure that's free and open to all. '''The result:''' helping people of all ages learn and display 21st century skills, unlock career and educational opportunities, and find new life pathways. | Learning today happens everywhere, not just in the classroom.

:Beginning | :Beginning August 13th, 2013 you can join our open, public [https://openbadges.etherpad.mozilla.org/bsd Research + Badge System Design community calls]. The calls are weekly and they alternate between Research topics and Badge System Design Topics. They are held weekly on Wednesdays at 8am PT (-8 UTC). During these 60 minute calls we will explore questions about both research and badge system design. We will share our own thinking about badge system design fundamentals, highlight work, blog posts, thoughts by contributing community members and discuss what's new in the world of badging systems and research. We encourage you to share your work, questions, and comments. | ||
