Open Badges and Digital Certification
• Competency based– Can parallel formal certification, or feed into it
• Visually efficient and appealing– Fun, motivating to earn (?)
• Transparent, trustable– Criteria, evidence, issue/expiry date– Ongoing connection to issuer
• Individual learning pathways– Granular milestones; see progress in MOOCs, OERs
• Progress in incomplete programs can still be recognized
– Flexible, diverse, blendable, portable, shareable
• Automatically / manually awarded
How do Open Badges support learning?
Inside Higher Ed, Jan 2014

‘They make me smile! Which is a good thing – learning should be fun and I think this was a fun element of the course’
‘Earned my Week 1 Badge from #oldsmooc! Unexpectedly pleased to have a reward for effort! What fun and motivates
‘I’m not sure yet if I’ll really use them [externally]’
‘I decided that they might be useful as evidence of professional development … I don’t know if anyone in my institution will care, but in case they do, I have the badges.’

Recommended Badge Practices
• Set clear, objective criteria to make them easy to understand
• Make them easy to accept and display• Make them a valued “currency”
– Hard to start, getting easier
• Add new ones on a regular basis to maintain interest
• Use technical support wisely to support educators, solve problems and ensure sustainability

TechnologyGetting serious about implementation
• Badge Creation and Issuing Platforms– Badg.us– Cred.ly– Wordpress: BadgeOS, WPBadger– Moodle, Blackboard (D2L – coming?)– Mozilla Badge Kit– Openbadgefactory.com (Moodle/Mahara/Open
API)– Mozilla spreadsheet:
“Platforms for issuing Open Badges”: bit.ly/openbadges-platforms
TechnologyLMS and ePortfolio example
http://docs.moodle.org/dev/openbadges
Bringing Badges in……should you decide to do so
• Begin with “why”? (lead with the need)– Engagement, retention, behaviour change, branding, etc.
• Consider building a logic model• Find early adopters• Start small, get it working, improve over time• Insist on excellent visual design• MAKE THE MECHANICS EASY for both issuers and earners• Get admin support to scale up• Get appropriate technical resources• Market!
– Presentations, elevator pitches, gentle nagging– Publicize adopters (news, awards, etc.)– Reports, statistics
