Integrate OpenBadges in Blackboard Learn to allow faculty to display student badges from mozilla backpack, allow faculty create new badges in courses, allow students claim badges. A student photo roster will accompany this project, so the facutly can preview not only the faces of students, but badges earned in other classes. This will help faculty to get to know students prior to start of a class and to track their progress in the learning networks outside of the classroom.
