-
Open Badges are immediately verifiable by the earner or consumer.
-
You can Verify a badge from your Badgr backpack a number of ways.
-
From the Badge share URL.
-
From an embedded card or badge view.
-
Anywhere else you see the Verify Badge button.
-
-
Badge consumers are people who have an interest in your achievement and with whom you may choose to share your badge (e.g. college admissions, human resources, program educators, etc.).
-
When the Verify Badge button is selected, a URL containing a link to the badge information and verification engine will open in a new window with some of the information pre-populated.
- In most cases, the Assertion URL (Badge share URL) will pre-populate in the Badge Object Reference field.
- Alternatively, you may wish to upload your badge image, complete with meta-data, to the verification engine.
-
You may wish to add additional information, such as the recipient information.
-
In most cases, this will be the email address of the badge earner.
- Identifiers may also be a telephone number, URL, or JSON-LD ID.
-
-
You may add as many recipient identifiers as you like and the verification tool will determine which identifier is associated with the badge (typically, only one).
- Select the Add button for each identifier you wish to check.
- Once you've added all the identifiers, select the Submit button.
There is a lot of information available to you on the results screen.
Generally, if all the data, including recipient information, is verified, you'll get a report containing a green checkmark, stating the information is True.
If not, you'll get a report stating the information is False, with unverified data highlighted in red.
: - This occurs for Mozilla badges awarded from a Mozilla issuer. Mozilla has shut down their issuer systems and issuers from that system can no longer be validated which results in a verification failure (even if the award and recipient information).
