Open Badges 2.0 & 3.0 Compliant
Issue digital credentials that follow the Open Badges standard (versions 2.0 and 3.0) by 1EdTech. Open Badges are portable, verifiable, and recognized across platforms and institutions worldwide.
Key Benefits
Global Standard
Open Badges is maintained by 1EdTech (formerly IMS Global). It is the most widely adopted standard for digital credentials, recognized by employers and institutions worldwide.
Portable Credentials
Open Badges can be shared, verified, and imported across any platform that supports the standard. Recipients own their credentials and can take them anywhere.
Rich Metadata
Each badge contains structured metadata — issuer info, criteria, skills, evidence, and alignment — making credentials meaningful and machine-readable.
Verifiable & Tamper-Proof
Every Open Badge includes verification data that allows anyone to confirm the credential is authentic and has not been altered.
How It Works
Create a Badge Template
Define your badge with all required Open Badges metadata: issuer, name, description, criteria, and optionally skills alignment and evidence.
Issue to Recipients
Issue badges individually or in bulk. Each badge is generated with full Open Badges metadata embedded.
Recipients Share & Verify
Recipients receive a public verification page URL. They can share the badge on LinkedIn, social media, or add it to digital wallets that support Open Badges.
Cross-Platform Recognition
Open Badges issued through IssueBadge can be verified and recognized by any system that supports the Open Badges standard.
