“…If the US Department of Education has announced its support of the badging
concept (which it has), as have other government agencies (NASA, NSF, NOAA, and
others) and if open badges are going to be a valid alternative to or eventually a
replacement for transcripts, wouldn't it make sense for there to be an archive? I know
that it would not make sense for many badges (of the social type for example), but I
believe that it would make sense for serious badges documenting learning. When
the Mozilla project was announced I thought that it would include
such an archiving service, but it did not. I talked with someone at Mozilla
about that (Sunny? Erin?) and it was suggested that that sort of service might better
be provided by an organization like Penn State. As the Open Badges group has
determined, it seems that it should be up to the provider to provide the
data about the badges, and it should be up to the badge holder to
offer his or her record to the archive.
Is it just me, or would a national repository/archive where records
of badges and providers as well as badges issued would be
preserved?
