skills, interests and achievements
earned by an individual through
specific projects, programmes, courses

14. MOZILLA’S OPEN BADGES
“Learning today happens everywhere. But
it's often difficult to get recognition for
skills and achievements that happen
online or out of school. Mozilla Open
Badges helps solve that problem, making
it easy for any organisation to issue,
manage and display digital badges
across the web.”
