The First Six Badges of the Open edX Universe

gw-open-edx-badges

The first Open edX-based badges or micro-credentials are being issued this weekend by George Washington University’s MOOC “Practical Numerical Methods with Python”, run by the innovative Professor Lorena Barba. IBL Studios Education developed an XBlock and created the  layouts of the badges.

These six badges –hosted at Achievery.com– recognize the efforts of GW Online’s students.

This development was introduced at Harvard on November 19th during the Open edX conference. Here is the video.
