Design canvasses

Open Badge Design Canvasses

Over the years, the community has created paper-based design canvasses to help people think through the design and content of their badges. These canvasses have been creative commons licensed and have evolved to meet the needs of specific sectors (schools, HE, workplaces, etc).
