Open Badges

5.

`Open Badges <http://www.openbadges.org/>`_ is `Mozilla <http://mozilla.org>`_'s open source answer for showing recognition of skills and competencies online. `Moodle 2.5 <https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=228539>`_ became a badge issuer in May 2013 and Mahara will become a badge displayer in the future. For the time being, however, there are two ways of displaying your Open Badges:

6.

Have the plugin `Open Badge Displayer <https://mahara.org/user/ajk/open-badge-displayer>`_ installed (available since 8 August 2013).

7.

Use an iframe. This method is not recommended any longer as there is no verification of the email address and you could essentially display someone else's badges.

Create a collection of badges

10.

Go to your `Mozilla Backpack <http://backpack.openbadges.org>`_. You must have already pushed at least one badge to it to complete the following steps.

You will need to create a Persona account in order to use the Mozilla Backpack. Increasingly, you can connect with Persona to websites. You can also use it as :ref:`authentication method <Persona_authentication>` in Mahara.
