Page 18: Mozilla Open Badges and Mozilla Backpack -

Design ProcessBuilding badge design into your processes

Badge creation - Who determines what badges exists and what

one can attempt

Badge attainment – how is this embedded as part of the learning

process

Badge value – how is value evolved in the learner community

and beyond

Badge display – how will our users share their achievements and

with whom
