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