Digital learning badges offer new possibilities alongside conventional certificates. The Open Badge
concept is one of the most common implementations of learning badges in use. The concept was
piloted and the services required by it were developed in a project carried out in Finland in 2014. This
research highlights the utilization opportunities noted in connection with the Open Badge concept and
also challenges related to it. The paper also discusses some applications created during the project
that enable the utilization of the concept.
