My EduHack project this weekend: VBadge prototype
Starting the project, based on our entry VBadge into the DML Open Badge Competition - we were finalists together with http://www.gamezombie.tv/, but didn't get funding in the finals :(
VBadge is an extension to the Mozilla Open Badge infrastructure (MOBI) which links badges to a video proof. A VBadge not only displays the badge, but it also gives access to a video in which the badge holder performs the acquired skill. VBadge supports both, visual demonstration of highly complex skills as well as people with low literacy to express their practical abilities. Aim of VBadge is to set up a badge challenge with a clear description of requirements and challenges to be matched, a system to link a video proof to the badge and an administrative backend for badge issuers to grant the badge based on the video proof.
This weekend I want to dig into MOBI and try to get some VBadge prototype running.
Starting with the code at GitHub.
