By adopting an open standards system and integrating directly into the platform itself; Gyrus Systems has established the groundwork for massive growth in the learning and gamification industry. Whether badges are issued from one organization to many, badges can build upon each other and be stacked to express the full story of a user’s skills and achievements.
