I learned how to use the Open Badges API within a Play Framework application.  I'm now confidant in my ability to wite applications to display badges.  I work for Cengage Learning, and am evangelizing open badges.  I hope to create certification programs for people who use our on-line products.

Much gratitude to Leah Macvie for creating this course and her enthusiatic encouragement.

  Your project was a little over  my head, so I am assuming you did it right.  ;)

  We use several Gale databases in my library, so I am very happy to see that Cengage Learning is looking into Open Badges.

  Thanks so much Todd, Cengage has always been one of my favorite publishers to work with. Great coding work here- I'm glad you got it all connected. Look for more open badges courses in the future!

  I like you final project... shows a good understanding of the technology behind open badges. It may need more scaffolding to help the non-technical understand what you have done!

  Nice to have you as part of the community.
