The document discusses the Open Recognition Framework, which aims to make informal recognition visible and actionable, emphasizing the need for an inclusive ecosystem where everyone can recognize and be recognized. It critiques previous open badge systems for being issuer-centered and outlines the importance of community and individual empowerment in recognizing learning. The framework is designed to encourage participatory engagement in education and employment transformation.

What is
Open Recognition?

6. “Recognition precedes knowledge”
—Axel Honneth
“Anerkennen geht dem Erkennen voraus”

7. The original Open Badge Infrastructure mimicked
the traditional formal recognition model

Individuals were denied
the right to recognise

10. The original Open Badge Infrastructure
could not support Open Recognition
The Mozilla Backpack epitomised a system where individuals were
confined to seeking recognition and denied the right to recognise

11. Open Recognition needs an ecosystem where
everybody is recognised as a recognisant agent who:
#1 has the right to recognise and be recognised
#2 has the means to recognise and be recognised
If the introduction of endorsements in the 2.0 Open
Badges specification is a first step to open recognition,
there is still much work to be done to make it a reality!

14. The original Open Badge Infrastructure
was based an individualistic representation
of the value of the individual:
The Open Recognition Infrastructure
is based on a social representation of
the value of the individual:
my backpack, my badges
Communities I recognise and who recognise me
People I recognise and who recognise me
Organisations and institutions I recognise and who recognise me
Open Recognition Communities

15. Me
the communities I recognise and who recognise me
the people I recognise and who recognise me

22. Open Recognition Framework
The framework does not pretend and does not intend to be neutral. It
is designed within the perspective of building an open and inclusive
society where citizens are fully empowered to act and transform
education and employment, rather than merely adapting to them.
It is a framework for action, individual and collective
