Learn more about Badge Connect

Recipients and Issuers can now connect to the growing ecosystem of Open Badges apps with Badge Connect! Badge Connect API is a forthcoming specification in development at IMS Global Learning Consortium that allows you to sign in to any Badge Connect-enabled tool with your Badgr Backpack credentials. You choose where your badges are stored and how they are shared with the apps that you use. 

Badgr will be implementing Badge Connect in 2021.

See the Badge Connect Guide for more information.
