OBF Academy's webinar 14.10.2015
This document discusses the need for and benefits of badge sharing features in Open Badge Factory. It provides several use cases where organizations may want to share badges they have developed, such as an organization sharing its badge system with similar groups. Badge sharing can help avoid inflation, make better use of resources and expertise, and increase badge value if they are widely recognized. The document proposes the next step is developing features to support collaborative badge and badge system design across organizations.
