What Open Badge Passport is
Open Badge Passport is a free service for people who earn Open Badges. It lets users receive, manage, save, organise, and share badges, and create micro-portfolios with evidence attached to badges and endorsements from community members. A Gallery helps users discover badges and apply for them. Users can build a CV around their badges and share them on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Badges following the Open Badges standard can be transferred into Passport, including by uploading badge files from a computer. Imported files must be PNG or PDF, while imported links must be badge assertion URLs. Badges from Open Badge Factory transfer automatically when the issuing email address is saved in account settings. The product says it is certified by 1EdTech and follows Open Badges versions 2.0 and 3.0. The FAQ describes the software as open source. It is available on the web, Android, and iOS. The maker, based in Oulu, Finland, says its services comply with GDPR; its FAQ says they are hosted in Finland, firewalled, backed up daily, and use SSL-encrypted browser connections.
