About Open Badges

Open Badges is an interoperable standard for verifiable digital credentials. Organizations can use the specification to build tools that issue, display, host, and exchange badges. The standard itself is free and open; costs may arise only when selecting a certified platform, implementation partner, hosting service, or 1EdTech membership and certification program.
