BadgeKit: Build

Vision

Create distinct tools that will help anyone plan the learning/badge experience, construct a badge system, design the visual look for a badge, create its criteria, define its metadata and create related and relevant badge pathways within a system.

These could potential be three separate tools that address: 1) visual design 2) system design and 3) content design.

Subverbs

• strategize (content, visual,tech )
• create
• design
• embed

Existing OB/ Non OB tools:

• Open Badger
• Badge Studio
• Pathway Creation
• Credly
• Achievery
• DigitalME Badge Canvas (system oriented)
• Makebadg.es
• Badgemaker
• P2PU badge creation tool

MVP:

Create 1 tool that helps anyone design the visual look of a badge,develop its criteria and define its metadata.

MVP Requirements

Experience we need to support:

• The issuer should be able to visually design badges.
• The issuer should be able to define the metadata aligned with the open badges standard.
• This includes the criteria page outlining the requirements for earning the badge.

This includes defining evidence required for earning the badge.

n.b. Keep in mind that badge issuing can be done on a number of existing platforms including Makebadges (http://www.makebadg.es/badge.html#), Achievery (http://www.achievery.com/), openbadges.me (https://www.openbadges.me/), Badge.design (https://badge.design/) and many more.

Cupcakes

• Create 1 tool that helps anyone plan (more than planning--rolling up your sleeves) their badge system
• Badge Links (centers relationships between badges within a badges metadata)
