@dajb Yup, Individuals, non profits civics etc are handing out badges. For inclusion, well being and empowerment. But where are these credentials being collected? On privately owned platforms. That disappear regularly. Or, if they are still around. Serve the global north.
@dajb Methinks if public higher education wants to use innovative credentials (open badges, digital certificates etc). They also have to commit to integrating the open recognition infrastructure (the backpacks) with their controlled recognition infrastructure (that manages credentials).
