They have been run by a Spanish Platform and after we did the course we were given the possibility of achieving badges.
Here are the three badges which I have been given: they can be shared online and on social networks and they can be downloaded too.
Here is my badge online which I have just finished for Learning about comics in November 2018
The other badge is for attending a course about BYOD in November 2018
Finally the greatest Mooc with Shelly Terrell: I did it in the first months of this year
These badges are part of my online portfolio and they are focussed on the competences I have achieved: they can be shared online and provide details about the course I have done.
What is missing is the number of hours, in fact in most Moocs we are given a certificate of attendance with the number of hours for the course and often we can have badges.
Why do we use badges in education?
In many cases badges have been given to provide a sense of accomplishment in education, like in games where learners have reached some steps and they are developing:

More and more we are given badges for sharing our CPD and online learning. I am only wondering about the many websites which now have a repository of badges which we have achieved.
My online life is full of certificates and badges and I need to find a place where to keep all of them.
I will therefore have to start learning how to connect these experiences and present them in the best way.
I will create a repository with all the main links and add the new badges and certicates of my professional development. It would be nice to have all the platforms working together and being connected.
