Mozilla recently announced the release of BadgeKit, a set of foundational tools to support the badging process for organizations developing badges for their communities. Mozilla reports that more than 2,000 organizations are currently issuing badges that align with the Mozilla Open Badges standard. The Mozilla BadgeKit will support key stages in the badging experience including creating, designing, assessing, and issuing; include remixable templates and milestone badges allowing for easy customization; and build openness, interoperability, agency, choice, and connectedness into the core and help shape emerging badge systems.
