Open Badges that make skills and achievements visible across your organisation.
Recognise learning, competencies and contributions with credentials people can verify and share.
Webiwant helps companies, training providers, educational organisations and non-profits create Open Badge programmes for employee development, course completion, skills recognition and participation.
Different organisations. The same need to recognise what people achieve.
Open Badges can recognise formal training, professional skills, participation and contributions that might otherwise remain hidden inside internal records or traditional certificates.
Companies & employers
Recognise internal training, acquired competencies, project achievements, internships and professional development with credentials employees can retain and share.
Schools & training organisations
Credential course completion, learning outcomes, informal learning and staff development with clear criteria behind each recognised achievement.
Non-profits & NGOs
Recognise volunteer contributions, training, participation and the practical skills people develop while supporting your organisation.
More useful than a badge image alone.
An Open Badge can identify the achievement, the organisation that issued it and the criteria required to earn it. Supporting evidence can also form part of the credential where appropriate.
That gives recipients a clearer way to demonstrate what they have learned or achieved, while giving your organisation a structured framework for recognition.
Large organisations such as IBM have used digital credential programmes, but the model can also be implemented on a much smaller scale and expanded over time.
See the IBM digital credentials reference →Give recognition more meaning and more reach.
Open Badges give organisations a structured way to recognise skills and achievements while giving recipients a credential they can retain beyond the programme that issued it.
Make skills visible
Recognise competencies and achievements that might otherwise remain hidden inside training records or internal processes.
Add credibility
Connect recognition to a defined issuer, achievement and earning criteria rather than relying on an image or simple certificate alone.
Encourage development
Create visible milestones that help recognise continued learning, training and progression over time.
Give recognition value
Recipients gain a digital credential they can keep and use when presenting their skills, learning or professional achievements.
Recognition should work for both sides.
The recipient receives meaningful recognition of an achievement. Your organisation gets a clearer and more consistent way to recognise the skills, learning and contributions it values.
Build a credential system people understand and your organisation can manage.
Webiwant can support the process from defining what should be recognised to designing the credentials, selecting an issuing platform and launching the programme.
Define the achievement
Decide what the credential should recognise and what someone must do to earn it.
Create the badge & metadata
Define the visual identity, issuer, criteria, evidence and information attached to the credential.
Choose the issuing platform
Select a solution appropriate to your programme, workflow, number of recipients and future requirements.
Launch & expand
Issue the first credentials, explain how recipients can use them and expand the programme as new needs emerge.
See how Webiwant has implemented Open Badge programmes.
Our case studies include credentials for Lepetitjournal.com Dublin contributors and the European DATAETHICS training project, covering skills recognition, course completion, badge criteria and evidence.
Build an Open Badge programme around what your organisation actually wants to recognise.
Tell us who the credentials are for and what achievements matter. We can help with the programme structure, badge design, metadata, platform selection and implementation.
