“Learning	
  today	
  happens	
  everywhere.	
  But	
  it's	
  
o]en	
  difficult	
  to	
  get	
  recogni1on	
  for	
  skills	
  and	
  
achievements	
  that	
  happen	
  online	
  or	
  out	
  of	
  
school.	
  Mozilla	
  Open	
  Badges	
  helps	
  solve	
  that	
  
problem,	
  making	
  it	
  easy	
  for	
  any	
  organisa1on	
  to	
  
issue,	
  manage	
  and	
  display	
  digital	
  badges	
  across	
  
the	
  web.”
