Sapienza Open Badges
Sapienza joins the Open Recognition programme to recognise and promote students' and graduates' expertise in a reliable, flexible and straightforward way through the Open Badge system and the "Bestr" platform.
What is an "Open Badge"?
An Open Badge is a digital picture of your skills. Recognised worldwide, it allows our students to promote their extracurricular activities, research, and collaborations at Sapienza, in the field of non-formal education.. It can be used on digital curricula and Linkedin to globally share your expertise, what you have learnt, how and with what results with employers in a concise and reliable way. An Open Badge captures essential information about learning and achievements by storing metadata inside the badge image. An Open Badge is an image containing metadata about the skills it represents and the person to whom it is assigned.
Sapienza Open Badge is not a certificate of participation in a course or event, but rather a certification of skills acquired through training experiences.
