3. Why BadgeKit?

4. There are too many gaps in the badging experience
and many of the existing options are too closed, too
expensive or too big.

5. It’s harder to make an open
badge than a closed badge.

7. Our Goal with BadgeKit
To improve the badging experience for issuers,
learners and consumers, making open badging
simple and easy to do.
Close the gap with lightweight, free open badging tools.

8. Our Goal with BadgeKit
Provide the foundational tools to stoke the growth
and development of the Open Badges ecosystem.
Given the open source model of BadgeKit,
improvements made by anyone can benefit everyone,
from bug fixes to new features and more.

9. Our Goal with BadgeKit
Build our values of openness, interoperability, agency,
choice, and connectedness into the core and help
shape emerging badge systems.
Let’s make it easier to build and issue an open badge.
