Raising awareness of digital badge developments

Open Badge Factory, Badgr and Credly were among the world’s first digital badge / skills credential platforms. From 2018-2020 we were sponsored by them owners to raise awareness of global developments and use-cases for microcredentialing to inform and educate their existing and potential customers. We edited and curated a monthly newsletter called Badge News / The Learning Fractal, published by the co-operative WAO, in which we shared information on policy developments, platforms, reports, case studies of how companies and universities were implementing digital credentialing, research papers, events and more. The newsletters provided a snapshot of global developments and provided the go-to resource on microcredentials and related emerging technology.
