What are Open Badges ?
Open Badges are a powerful tool to certify knowledge, skills, and achievements. Open Badges help motivate earners to pursue lifelong learning. Unlike certificates or degrees, Open Badges typically represent a very specific competence. They are therefore great to showcase one’s specific individual set of skills and pieces of knowledge. Open Badges are a great tool to promote the principles of Open Science and Research Data Management and to certify relevant skills.
What is OBERRED?
OBERRED is an acronym for Open Badge Ecosystem for the Recognition of Skills in Research Data Management and Sharing. The aim of the OBERRED project is to create a practical guide that includes the technical specifics and issues of Open Badges, roles and skills related to RDM, and principles for the application of Open Badges to RDM.
