What is an Open Badge?
----------------------
Open Badges is the worldâs leading format for digital badges. It is a global standard that ensures portability and trust for your digital badges. From a technical point of view, an Open Badge is a digital picture, containing embedded evidence of learning and achievement and information about the badge earner and recipient.
### Open digital badges
Open badges are flexible: you can use them to recognize and validate skills, achievements, assets, goals, and experiences, going well beyond formal diplomas or certifications.

### PDF badge certificates
PDF badges are verifiable certificates that contain the same metadata as Open Badges and can be customized layout and branding. As standalone portable files, they can be easily downloaded, printed, and shared. They combine the best of both PDF and Open Badge worlds!

### Micro-portfolios
Micro-credentials don't have to be limited to static certificates; they can evolve into dynamic micro-portfolios! Empower your recipients to share what they know and can do, and to increase the value of their badges with further documentation, endorsements, and testimonials using Open Badge Passportâs innovative tools!

Building meaningful badge ecosystems
------------------------------------
Letâs badge together ! Open Badge Factory provides the tools an organisation needs to implement its badge strategy, but it doesnât stop there. Unique and powerful collaborative features help badge creators network and build large badge ecosystems together.
### Share badges with your partners
Organisations can partner with each other to share their badges and badge application forms. OBF badge sharing features are used by organisations to leverage the work of their partners and to build together shared badge systems for their communities.
### Maximize your badges values with endorsements!
Organisations can endorse each other to recognise and make visible the values and goals they share. By endorsing each otherâs badges, organisations can also build the groundwork for a badge ecosystem. When badges are endorsed by a network of organisations, their value is increased for their issuers, their recipients, and the whole community.
### Collaborative and Open Solution!
Our solutions are open! All stakeholders in your network, whether they are endorsers, reviewers, badge applicants or recipients can engage without having to register beforehand.
### Multilingual badgesâ
With Open Badge Factory, you can create and issue multilingual badges. With multilingual badges you can support collaboration between multicultural organizations and deploy badge systems that will have impact at an international level.
