SSSC MyLearning stats
We want to see Open Badges widely adopted and we are using them to help you recognise your learning, skills, attributes and experience.

What are Open Badges?
Open Badges are digital records of achievements and skills that are tied to assessment and evidence. Unlike paper certificates, Open Badges are manageable online.

Make the most of your Open Badges
Remember to share your badges online as soon as you receive them. You can list badges you have been awarded on social networks, your blog and ePortfolio.
