Qu’est-ce que Wikibadges.org?
Open Badge Factory has developed an open API (not
documented yet) that can be used by any badge issuing
platform to integrate with Wikibadges.org badges. With
Open Badge Factory and Open Badge Passport you can
already get badge classes from Wikibadges and use
them to issue badges.
Wikibadges is a collaborative tool to support open

networks and communities
● To make development and use of badges easier and
faster. (benefiting of work done by many)

badge ecosystems and “participative democracy”.
