Delighted to introduce Venture Academy to you todayThey have been testing an innovative piece tech called Open Badges – new way to recognise skills, and ultimately connect YP with skills to employers, really could have a significant impact on how we see recognition…
Open BadgesOpen Badges are digital images (pngs) with meta data hard baked into them, important stuff like: Who the badge belongs toWhat they’ve done to earn the badgeWho has endorsed the badge
They can be displayed anywhere are across the web
And a group of people you’ll recognise have got together to create badges which start to recognise all the achievements of young people using Open Badges
Hand over to these guys, know more than me, they have been testing, give them a big welcome….
