This document discusses the development of an open badge series called the Digital Practitioner Series to provide digital rewards for continuing professional development. It outlines an existing open badge program called the Learning Online badge series and proposes expanding it with additional badges for workshops, virtual sessions, and leadership. Considerations for the new badge series include criteria, evidence templates, workflows, and updating information. The goal is to incentivize participation through collecting digital badges that represent professional learning and skills.
