■ In June 2013, the Clinton Global Initiative announced a commitment to help 1 million students and 1 million U.S. workers access opportunities through badges. Non-profit organizations, universities, civic organizations, technology providers, employers, and others are teaming up to meet this challenge.■Blackboard’s recent integration with the Mozilla Open

Badges framework enables educators around the world to become badge issuers to millions of students who can use their badge achievements portably in their online identities and resumes.■Mozilla, Blackboard, WCET and Sage Road Solutions are

bringing together academic, governmental, civic, and corporate thought leaders to contribute to a MOOC, “Badges: New Currency for Professional Credentials,” that will foster and strengthen emerging badge ecosystems.
