How to make our First Open Badge?

[Conni Eybisch-Klimpel]

Is there any help for First steps to Provide Open Badges (maybe in german)? I can not code. No experience with Javaskript. We do not have our own Server. We are just a small NGO and like the idea of Open Badges.

Hi Conni,

Glad to hear of your interest in Open Badges. 

Open Badges are the best format for digital badges because they contain the most information about the achievement, are verifiable, and the learner can share them online with whomever they choose. 

Thankfully you do not need to code your own badges or run your own server! There are a number of technology providers world-wide who offer online systems for creating, issuing, and managing Open Badges for your program. A good starting point is this list of products that have been certified for supporting Open Badges.

best regards,
