Are open badges the future of accreditation

Education and the workforce are changing. In most industries the internet has transformed the way we work but in the field of assessment and accreditation there has been little innovation. Mozilla Open Badges (developed by the people behind the Firefox browser) is a new open source, world-wide standard which aims to change this. It allows all skills to be recognised digitally and shared online, efficiently connecting those with the right skills to opportunities for employment. In this session you will: Find out what Open Badges are Design a badge yourself Earn a badge for the knowledge you have gained in the session Tim Riches is CEO of DigitalMe, a nonprofit creating a new skills currency using digital badges. DigitalMe’s ‘Badge The UK’ project is helping teachers, business’ and community organisations create digital badges which recognise all of young peopleís learning – in and out of school. As well as working at DigitalMe, Tim supports the Mozilla Open Badges team to develop new international partnerships and projects. Before working at DigitalMe Tim co-founded the multi-award winning open learning platform Makewaves.

A college degree is important, but it provides an incomplete picture of a graduate’s knowledge, skills, and experiences. Microcredentialing (awarding recognition for small, granular achievements) may help! By collecting and displaying digital badges online, students can combine evidence from all of their learning activities (including classroom, co-curricular, and outside learning) to promote themselves more effectively. In this session, which was presented at the 2015 Faculty Summer Institute, we discussed what badges are and how to create and award them to your students.

Open Badges for Youth: Visual Pathways to the Future

Badge Design Day for charities, employers and learning programmes 19th March 14

Open Badges are gaining acceptance as eCredentials by educators, professional bodies and employers around the world because they enable better ways to map, recognize and share learning, including informal learning. Quality Open Badges are trustable tokens of skills and achievements that can be shared in e-portfolios, talent pipelines and social media. Open Badges are modular and “stackable”: they can be linked together into flexible development pathways and can support Competency Based Education and learning transfer. This fast-paced presentation lores global practices in Open Badge systems using living examples and case studies, inside and outside formal education.

Open Badges for Training and Professional Development

We will be exploring the use of Open Badges to scaffold and support cross curricular teaching in schools. We will be focusing in on key (free) resources around e-safety and social networking, CPD Open Badges for teachers and practitioners and Open badges that can be used to support assessment. Alongside the exploration of these badge packs, participants will be able to explore the Makewav.es platform where they can earn, create and display their own Open Badges. As the second part of the training we will be able to explore our new platform ‘Open Badge Academy’ (OBA) which is just to be launch as a pilot in October. Here, learners have the opportunity to evidence their learning and create pathways both into and through employment. Working alongside Industry partners, the badges which will sit on the OBA are part of an ecosystem where all learning is recognised and valued.

Bett 2014: 3 Steps to creating a new (decentralized) learning currency

Higher education institutions are experimenting with the use of digital badges to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Digital badging, accompanied with interactive learning designs, provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. In this presentation, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses and programs. The presentation reviews all the components of a badging initiative, but will have participants identify badge components, sketch out their badge constellation, and develop an assessment strategy within the context of a course.
