Products Credly Product Feature - Open Badge 3.0

Open Badge 3.0

For learners who want to showcase all their earned credentials in one place, Credly now offers the upload and verification of any badge that conforms to either OpenBadge 2.0 or 3.0 standards – regardless of the credentialing platform from which it was issued.

What is Open Badge 3.0?

Open Badge 3.0, the latest and most advanced version of the standard, is governed by 1EdTech. It was designed to ensure digital credentials, such as badges, are interoperable across platforms and include consistent metadata.

Enhanced Compatibility and Portability OpenBadge 3.0 is the latest version, designed to enhance the compatibility and portability of digital credentials across different platforms.

Unified collection The Open Badge 3.0 standards allow users to earn badges from multiple issuers and combine them into a unified collection tied to their identity.

Consistent Metadata OpenBadge standards ensure that digital credential metadata (such as issuer, issue date, and associated skills) is consistent across various badge issuers.
