Hi,

The concept for earning online digital badges for a Summer program is fantastic. Kudos to AADL and Canton and other libraries who have been successful in revamping the program. There is flexibility in making a program like this as complex or as simple as you want.

I have found plenty of information and great ideas about different ways to run this program but very little on the technical logistics of setting it up. I am seeking resources and information for any type of platform that can be purchased where the work is already done. Something where participants could create profiles on our website and display badges they have earned within their profile. I have found this http://openbadges.org/ but really would prefer it be on the library website. Anything out there for a library who has no dedicated IT person to create this?

Respond off list to: director@mycdl.org

Any input is helpful.

Thank you,
