Organization: How the badge system looks as a whole and is understood as a system. Are levels (if applicable) clearly defined. Is the learning journey and awarding of badges easily understood. Does the badge system hold value within the community it serves?The badge system implements all the attributes of the notable and working systems with the addition of being mapped into other similar learning, achievement or recognition curriculums. The badge sytems organization is modeled by other badge systems. It is used as an example of badge system organization. Many people have earned many badges from within the system, people who have earned the full collection of badges are considered masters by their peers.nk wve first b The badge system makes sense as the badges relate to one another, in their graphical design, and in defining a learning, achievement or recognition journey. The whole badge system is visualized so it is easy to understand which badges to earn and in what order to accomplish the desired learning, achievement or recognition. Earning one or many badges from within the system is considered an accomplishment by peers and community members.The badge stands alone or is part of a very small (two to five) badge system. Single level badge hierarchy / network or existence of simple meta and micro relationship for earning the badge. How the small collection of badges relate to one another is easily understood. People are attracted to earning these badges.A single badge system, where the badge is well designed from a graphical perspective and how it can be earned on its own and within other learning, achievement or recognition journeys.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Barnstars

Criteria: Each badge ljv i onvvb evfd!snnde on its own, or is it a part of a larger learning, achievement or recognition journey.

The ability to verify / assert badge validity has been implemented.Badges are issued from a 3rd party public and open badge issuing platform. Little integration with the course, community of practice, or participants sites are present. Associated URL's resolve back to working and open URL's (no login required).

Development Team: broadness of experience held within the badge system development team. All skills and knowledge for building the badge system reside within two to seven people. Some team members will possess multiple skills and knowledge. Team requires strong community building, pedagogical, and/or curriculum development skills to evaluate comprehensiveness of badge system, criteria and assessment methods.all skills and knowledge for building badge system reside within one to three people.Reference Carla Casilli's paper on Badge System Design Principles https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A6T3OcB7R-1sobaJNiDbu5-wssrmQB2HUZKw3qzy2LQ/edit
