Rethinking Recognition with Open Badges 2.0: Endorsement and Collaborative Issuing Networks eCampusOntario is the edtech network of excellence for Ontario's 45 publicly funded colleges and universities. The network has been working with its member institutions and CanCred.ca, the Canadian partner of Open Badge Factory (OBF), to "rethink recognition". This rethink leverages some exciting features of Open Badges 2.0 implemented by OBF's IMS certified technology, such as Alignment and Endorsement, along with other features native to OBF and CanCred, such as collaborative badge issuing. The result is an emerging badge network, where badges converge on a provincial recognition hub, the eCampusOntario Passport.
