Power of Meta Data

■ In June 2013, the Clinton Global Initiative announced a
commitment to help 1 million students and 1 million U.S.
workers access opportunities through badges. Non-profit
organizations, universities, civic organizations,
technology providers, employers, and others are teaming
up to meet this challenge.
■ Blackboard’s recent integration with the Mozilla Open
Badges framework enables educators around the world to
become badge issuers to millions of students who can use
their badge achievements portably in their online
identities and resumes.
■ Mozilla, Blackboard, WCET and Sage Road Solutions are
bringing together academic, governmental, civic, and
corporate thought leaders to contribute to a MOOC,
“Badges: New Currency for Professional Credentials,”
that will foster and strengthen emerging badge
ecosystems.
