Badges - 2011

We're creating a game layer for Open Source Ecology!

While there are many elements that gamification can help with, focusing on specific short-term projects will enable a smooth transition to a more integrated game layer. Badges are a specific game mechanic system that is tightly-focused, easy to implement and has fairly high returns on impact for time invested.

They require and tie into a Profile System, and they require a badge issuing mechanism such as Mozilla Badges.

Requirements

• Basic Rule - an OSE badge is obtained by contributing development to OSE, such that the badge may be verified readily by viewing the work product. The 'exam' for earning a skill is the work product itself. Thus, the badge becomes self-validating. Typically, OSE offers training on various useful skills. The value of the training should be visible in the work product that results from the training materials. For OSE, each of the numerous steps of
• Easy verification - a badge may be posted on one's Developer Profile or Work Log. The badge must be accompanied by a direct link to the work product that resulted in the badge.
• Uses an open source badge system - Mozilla Open Badges is one such system.
