6 The digital badges system For the first time ever, FAO is adopting the digital badges certification system, to certify the acquisition of competencies, progress talents within organizations and increase employment opportunities. Certification granted by FAO, by passing the final scenario-based performance evaluation, with a score of 75 percent or more, is now asso- ciated to the FAO e-learning courses. Certification is granted through the digital badges system, that certifies the acquisition of competencies through the assessment of the performance level. To date about 40 FAO e-learning courses now offer certification for professionals in member countries!

7 Digital badges... Offer community approval based on recognized competences and skills Offer new pathway of lifelong learning separate from traditional, formalized academic pathways Build pathways for individuals to work towards learning goals, provide employment opportunities Allow to progress talent within organizations: it is an innovative way to identify talent based on competency and attitude Allow to better match individuals with non-traditional experiences to relevant employment opportunities Allow to motivate engagement and collaboration Improve retention and flexibility in skills development that are targeted Allow alternative way to get validation for skills acquisition and achievements Free and open: any organization can use this standard to create, issue and verify open digital badges Transferable: badges from multiple sources can be collected, on and off line, into a backpack Allow to display skills and achievements on social networking profiles, job sites, linkedin, e-portfolio, websites Stackable: build upon each other and be stacked to describe professional profiles Evidence-based: metadata that link back to the issuer, criteria and verifying evidence
