Since September 30, Open Badge Factory and Open Badge Passport have fully adopted the Open Badges 3.0 standard, certified by 1EdTech.

This webinar will guide you through what’s new, what has changed (and what hasn’t), and how you can make the most of the new features in your existing Open Badge Factory environment.

🧭 What you’ll learn

  • Understanding the 3.0 standard

    Why is this a major milestone for digital credentialing? What does “3.0-compatible” mean in practice?

  • Discovering the new features in Open Badge Factory

    Explore the new metadata fields (achievement type, credits, field of study, code, specialization) and see how they enrich and structure your badges.

  • Live demonstration

    See how to issue, verify, and display an Open Badge 3.0, and how the transition between 2.0 and 3.0 happens seamlessly.

  • Configuring and managing 3.0 badges

    Learn how administrators can enable only the relevant metadata fields, classify existing badges, and tailor the environment to your organization’s needs.

  • Interactive Q&A

    Ask your questions about use cases, technical aspects, or specific scenarios directly with the Open Badge Factory team.
