Abstract
Though MOOC platforms offer quite good online learning opportunities, thereby
gained skills and knowledge is not recognized appropriately. Also, they fail in maintaining the initial learner’s motivation to complete the course. Mozilla’s Open Badges, which are digital artifacts with embedded meta-data, could
help to solve these problems. An Open Badge contains, beside its visual component, data to trustworthy verify its receipt. In addition, badges of different granularity cannot just certify successful course completion, but also help to steer the learning process of learners through formative feedback during the course. Therefore, a web application was developed that enabled iMooX to issue Open Badges for formative feedback as well as summative evaluation. A course about Open Educa tional Resources served as prototype evaluation, which confirmed its aptitude to be
