Open Badge

What it is

Open Badges are digital certificates that are a personalised and secure record of a user's achievements and can be shown to the community of interest (organisations, institutions, potential employers, etc.). Open Badges can be included in one's digital curriculum vitae and on social networks to communicate in a clear, concise and certified manner the skills acquired. At Ca' Foscari University, the OB enables automatic and immediate registration of students’ B1 and B2 English passes in their university records.

How to access it

To share your badge with others you must retrieve it: after passing the test, the recipient will receive an email from  info@bestr.it with an invitation to access the Bestr platform and to collect and activate their Open Badge. For access to bestr.it use your University credentials or, for non Ca’ Foscari students, the credentials provided during registration on the unive.it site.

Our badges

The University Language Centre (CLA) issues B1 and B2 English Open Badges for those who pass OFAB1 and CLAB2 respectively, in addition to the various badges awarded at the end of the Language Centre's 75-hour language courses. Writing Skills and Speaking Skills badges are also available, for which it is necessary to attend - in the same or different sessions, but within two years of completion of the first module - a module defined as "basic" (Improve your writing or Advanced Conversation) + 2 additional modules of your choice.

The CLA also issues certificates of registration and of attendance and achievement to learners who attend 80% of the language course hours and pass the final test, where required.

The Centro Linguistico di Ateneo (Ca’ Foscari Language Centre) issues the following Open Badges:
