Design Principles Card Deck

The DPD Project Design Principles Card Deck is a free downloadable open educational resource to assist with badge system design and analysis.

To use the card deck for system design, start with your system’s context in mind, and try to find compatible principles that serve your needs. Make sure to look across all four categories and consider how the different principles will connect in your project.

    Hi, we are grateful for this resources. We keep using to help organisations to design and evaluate their badge systems.

    We would like to contribute to the translation of these cards in different languages. Would it be possible to get the editable version of files.

    We would be glad sharing translations with the community.

    Thanks,
    Nerijus

Mozilla Open Badges
Digital Badges are web-enabled credentials of learning or accomplishment. -Erin Knight, director of the Badge Alliance
Badges contain detailed claims about learning, links to actual evidence of learning, and they're shareable over the web. -Dan Hickey, DPD Project Lead Investigator
To me, digital badges represent the bridge between formal learning & informal structures. -Alex Halavais, DML research competition winner
Open Badges can help people tell a verifiable story about their accomplishments. -Nate Otto, DPD Project coordinator
From a post that served as core inspiration to the DPD Project:
Regardless of where you start, it’s more than likely you’ll end up somewhere other than your intended destination. That’s okay. Systems are living things, and your badge system needs to be flexible. You must embrace a bit of chaos in its design. -Carla Casilli, Director of Design + Practice at the Badge Alliance
