An advantage of Open Badges is that they can be displayed on a variety of Open Badges compliant websites. Sharing your badges can be a great way to be recognized for an achievement or to connect with other people interested in similar badging topics.

In Canvas Badges/Credentials , you can share single badges or badge collections with users, websites or social media. Badge collections allow you to curate a selection of appropriate badges to share with a particular audience.
