Who is involved in Quality Label for Badge recognition

The Quality Label for Badge Recognition (further referred to as Quality Label) signifies a commitment to upholding quality standards in badge-issuing activities. By fostering a community dedicated to delivering quality learning opportunities and skill recognition, it aims to offer additional credibility and reliability in recognising and promoting quality Open Badge issuance practices.
﻿
Who can earn the Quality Label?Recipients of the Quality Label are learning providers who issue digital Open Badges in any education, learning or training field. They are committed to upholding Quality Label standards in their badge-issuing activities.
﻿
The Quality Label can be issued to any organisation or individual registered to a Cities of Learning or Awero platform with an Organiser account.
﻿
In this document, potential recipients of the Quality Label will be generally referred to as Organisers.
﻿
Who can issue the Quality Label?The Cities of Learning Network is the sole official issuer of the Quality Label for Badge Recognition.
﻿
Cities of Learning Network members have the necessary expertise and make up the Quality Label evaluation committee, following assessment guidelines, to evaluate the applications received.
﻿
The Quality Label committee is composed of members qualified in Open Badge recognition  and, as detailed below, is responsible for making the final decisions on whether to issue each Quality Label.
﻿
Who can endorse the Quality Label?Endorsement is giving public approval and support for an Open Badge, an Activity or an Organiser. It shows trust, provides visibility and creates new opportunities.
﻿
Possible endorsers of the Quality Label can include diverse stakeholders, such as local, regional and national government institutions, public institutions, educational institutions (e.g. schools, universities, vocational training centres, etc.), employers and businesses, NGOs and networks of organisations working in the field of education, training, learning or employment, at a national or international level.
﻿
Receiving an endorsement from key stakeholders is optional for the Cities of Learning Network. However, it may be helpful to have endorsers at the national and local levels to better support badge recognition, and any statements of support for the Quality Label by important stakeholders at all levels will be valuable to promote it and increase its visibility and trustworthiness.
