I’m finally awarding Mozilla Open Badges through a complete badge environment that handles questions, marking, badge assertion, persona authentication and Mozilla backpack awards. I introduced this in a previous post, but now that I’ve added the last stage of Persona and Mozilla integration, you can actually move these badges into your openbadges backpack.
It ended up being a bit of mashup of various technologies, but the main one is Google Apps Script and ScriptDB to handle the award and badge management, with a jQuery panel that can be embedded in any blog or web page.
Most of the code is in a library, so the amount of code needed to implement your own environment is minimal. Look out for a step by step guide soon.
To see how you would earn a badge, click on one of the badges on the below right, and take the associated quiz.

Click on a badge to take a quiz. For more information on how all this works, and to see this embedded in Google Sites see Excel Liberation. |
