Badging for the 21st Century Workforce: Introductory Web Design with HTML5/CSS and WordPress Microcredentials Project Summary: This project is a collaboration amongst the following three SIUE departments: Mass Communications, Office of Educational Outreach, and University Marketing and Communications. Through the Excellence in Undergraduate Education (EUE) grant, the project team will develop a course program that results in two digital badges. The course is intended to address skills needed among current students at SIUE as well as professionals and post-traditional learners in the metro east region. The project tackles this year’s EUE priorities in development of digital badges and incorporation of experiential high-impact practices into the curriculum. The proposed special topics 8-week course - MC471 is designed for 16 students who want to learn web design skills in a fast-paced, hands-on environment with the opportunity to earn two associated digital badges to demonstrate their skills to future employers. The two digital badges use different technologies to create multimedia websites. The first one focuses on Hypertext Markup Language (HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) using Adobe Dreamweaver. The second focuses on the WordPress content management system. At the end of the course, students will receive a grade upon successful assessment of skills, up to two digital badges certified by SIUE Office of Educational Outreach. The project budget includes a faculty salary to allow for time to develop the course and compensate effort, as well as funding for assessment activities by students, and support for marketing and logistics of digital badging. The EUE funding will only go towards undergraduate education, including waiving any fees associated with the issuance of digital badges. Non-credit participants will be charged on a fee structure to be developed in partnership with the Office of Educational Outreach. After EUE support ends, modest fees for digital badge assessment will be charged to undergraduate students in accordance with University policy, with non-credit cohorts offered at a sustainable cost for both the course and the digital badge assessment.
