Boost badges are OCMS credentials that were originally designed to contain all the learning available from the rwxrob.tv Beginner Boost in an organized, achievable, gamified way. The concept and name “Boost Badge” have since been opened to encompass any learning content composed into this format.
Even though the content of each badge is different, the breadth and depth of coverage is similar. The requirements and options are all outlined and meant to be measurable and easily self-assessed. Anyone reading the requirements outlined should get a quick sense of how much work they are going to have to put in to learn it, personally. Everyone learns at different rates and has different priorities to work with in life. Taking on the task of earning a badge is, therefore, a personal decision with no forced schedule or agenda.
The content of any particular badge might have been originally created
by a single person, but the hope is that badges will be maintained in an
open way such that people can contribute their ideas for content and
potential changes in a versioned way. Each badge, therefore, has its own
Git repo and primary maintainer. (See the template-badge repo
for more.)
