What is an Open Badge?
It is a digital certificate that certifies a specific skill or competency. It is issued after completing a course and contains information such as who issued it and the date it was obtained. Open Badges can be viewed and shared online, and their authenticity is easily verifiable.

- the name of the user
- if the user has already received this Open Badge or NFT
- if the user has the Web 3 Wallet connected to the WeSchool account (for issuing an NFT)
-
Click the checkbox to select the user.
