“Buck and I worked on several projects together and he was always very pleasant to work with. He worked well with others and came to the table with ideas on how to do things better. Buck worked hard and was always engaged in our interactions. I appreciated his low key, get-it-done style. He always followed through with commitments and aimed to please. For that, I would highly recommend Buck for any company and would enjoy working with him again someday.”

IPT EdTec - Micro-credentials using Mozilla Open Badges
The Mozilla Open Badge infrastructure gives us the ability to issue micro-credentials to students. We developed rigorous rubrics to assess students on their mastery of each technology. Once their mastery is established, we issue them an open badge showing that we accredit their skill to a certain point.
My role in the project was to develop the actual iptedtec.org website, create the badge images, review rubrics for completeness, and develop the issuing platform that links with Mozilla.Other creators -
