- 3. Badges in Plain English A digital artefact that contains ‘baked-in’ meta data to a structured yet flexible credentialing system that warrants, endorses, rewards and displays the achievement of specific and verifiable experiences, skills and knowledge through evidence. Coleman & Wisser, 2014
- 4. Open Badges Open Badges allow you to verify your skills, interests and achievements through credible organizations. An open standard means you can combine multiple badges from different issuers to tell the complete story of your achievements — both online and off. Display your badges wherever you want them on the web, and share them for employment, education or lifelong learning. http://www.openbadges.org/about/

Notes de l'éditeur
- Here are a few definitions from some of the big players out there. You can see that there is some overlap in these definitions – validated comes up a few times, so does skill and accomplishment. The idea of validation is an important one, and I’ll come back to it in more detail in a little while. There are plenty of opportunities for you to display right now accomplishments earned outside the traditional academic structure. Think about LinkedIn and recommendations, or your own resume that can be used to display soft skills. But these aren’t validated. There’s no way for you to show that you really are a people person, for example.
- My own definition does not differ drastically from those before, but I added structural and flexible. I’ll talk about the challenges of a badging system in a moment, but one of which in my eyes is the need to maintain individual choice and agency in the pursuit of a badge while also making the creation, earning, and display a verifiable and replicable activity; i.e., an system.
- Much of this spike is due to the work of a few related institutes and their initiatives. Last year the Mozilla Foundation proposed the development of a metadata standard for open badges called the Open Badge Infrastructure. I’ll say something more about that in a little while. Building on the infrastructure provided by Mozilla, the MacArthur Foundation funded a competition that was administered by the HASTAC organization through the Digital Media and Learning competition that sought proposals for organizations inside and outside the academy to develop systems that promote badging for lifelong learning. All this was accompanied by several articles in respected outlets such as the Chronicle, which quickly lent credence to this emerging trend. The emergence of badges as a trending topic coincided with two other powerful trends, and whether or not badging is a respose to these trends or a coincidence is an interesting topic for debate. The first trend is the increasingly loud challenge to the academy by both those inside its halls, through the form of books like Academically Adrift and Disruptive Innovation) and from outside the academy with increasingly dire news about the job market, ballooning student loan debt, and the value of a higher ed degree. The second coinciding trend is the new popularity of the Massive Open Online Course, or Mooc. Learning has always happened both inside and outside the traditional classroom space, but Moocs have changed that landscape by extending the traditional classroom to any one with an internet connection. It is still a very open question about how learning in a Mooc will be recognized and credentialed, whether college credit will be awarded, or a certificate of completion will be earned, but regardless, the question of alternative credentialing is a popular topic right now. Some folks see badging as the answer to assessing and valuing real-world skills and knowledge. Some see them as credentialing applicable marketplace skills. Others see them as democratizing learning and helping to break down the walls that surround the ivory tower, if not toppling the tower itself.
