Sande Chen's Blog - Are Badges Really All That?

The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. [This blog entry originally appeared on Game Design Aspect of the Month for the topic, Gamification.] While working as a game designer, I've had to come up with a lot of badges, titles, or achievements. A badge or achievement can be a delightful surprise, especially for players who don't go out of their way to collect every badge. And badges are a great addition for completists, who now get to go through the game again but with an entirely different aim. Badges are cool if they make the player look at the game another way and encourage exploration. Gamification gurus extol the use of badges and sure, people will do things for bragging points.

Most of the time, in real life, badges or titles are tied to economic or social motivators. Digital badges. Participating Issuers. Mozilla Webmaker Badges. Badges/Issuers. This page includes information about some organizations that are currently issuing badges.

Badges/Issuers

Badge issuing organizations are groups or individuals who have content to share and/or contributions and skills that they want to recognize. They determine the criteria and system design behind their badges, and they align those badges with the Open Badges Infrastructure. This benefits earners whose portable badges can then tell robust stories about what they're capable of. Organizations that issue badges come from various sectors and sizes. They include formal and informal educational institutions; multinational corporations; industry associations; non-profits; and groups interested in professional development. This list includes badge issuers who have chosen to share their badges here.
