A guide or framework that helps educators or credentialing entities to:

  • Identify the skills (competencies, capabilities) embedded in a curriculum.
  • Design badges (or microcredentials) that map to those skills.
  • Define criteria / evidence for badge earning.
  • Link those badges to curriculum units, learning outcomes, assessments.
  • Communicate the badge’s meaning (metadata, descriptors) so that employers or other institutions understand what the badge signifies.

Such guides can be useful in assuring badges are not arbitrary “stickers” but are meaningfully aligned with curriculum, pedagogy, learning outcomes, and labor-market relevance.
