Getting started creating and issuing badges is quick and easy.
To assist you, a 'Help' widget is always located in the bottom right of your screen.
To create and issue a badge, go to the 'Badges' area on the openbadges.me main side menu. Step through the process of defining your badge issuer ('Issuers'), designing or uploading your badge graphic ('Graphics'), pulling that all together into building your first badge ('Badges') and finally awarding it to a recipient ('Issue'). Remember to use the 'Help' option if you hit any difficulties or want to understand more about the process you are stepping through
