Originally codenamed “Keep Badges Weird”, we've now worked with the community to rename this project Open Recognition is for Everybody. We started this robust learning experience to help:
- Upskill Participate team members (incl. ‘product visioning’)
- Educate people who are CoP-curious about value cycles
- Provide real-world experience of digital credentials to those new to them
Now we’ve established a vibrant Community of Practice and are beginning an advocacy campaign and other initiatives. Join us! Here are just some of the many, many posts we've written that are related to this community:
- Open Recognition is for every type of learning
- What is Open Recognition, anyway?
- 🔥 Towards a maturity model for online, networked communities
- Advocating for learner-centric badge systems
- Catalysing the KBW community
- WTF are ‘Stealth Badges’?
