From Badges to Breakthroughs
- 1. From Badges to Breakthroughs Dr. Deborah Everhart Director of Integration Strategy, Blackboard Adjunct Assistant Professor, Georgetown University Carla Casilli Director of Badge System Design + Implementation Mozilla Foundation Anne Derryberry Associate, Sage Road Solutions, LLC Moderator: Dr. Ellen D. Wagner, Executive Director, WCET
- 2. Alternative Models of Postsecondary Education are Gaining Traction • Post-traditional student populations expect education that is flexible, relevant, and meaningful. • The public’s interest in MOOCs is bringing attention to online learning. • Expectations of institutional accountability have amplified questions about whether and how universities should be “scored.” • The “ticking time bomb” of American student loan debt is changing consumer attitudes about the value of education.
- 3. New opportunities have emerged from changing expectations • Evaluating and awarding credit for student learning, wherever and however it has been acquired • Degrees and certificates based on credits from courses as well as from assessment of prior learning, community service, and student portfolios • Alternative credentials that recognize demonstrated competencies verified through direct assessment
- 4. New opportunities have emerged from changing expectations • In some vocational areas, the source of learning is insignificant in comparison to the verified ability to perform a specific skill or job. • Badges provide discrete, portable evidence of learning and skills. • Alternative credentials and microcredentials vary broadly in their quality and applicability to higher education; some may displace the need to earn an entire degree.
- 6. No badge is an island. No credential stands alone. Credentials work within a complex ecosystem.
