What if we used badges for learning?
Not just digital badges but Open Badges
Visual representations of achievements, learning, skills,
interests, competencies
Open Badges can complement traditional
education practices
They can accommodate formal & informal learning pathways
They can represent hard & soft skills, peer assessment, and stackable lifelong learning
Open Badges can capture learning wherever & however it occurs—allowing for innovation
Open Badges? (What about degrees, certificates, diplomas?)
Not simply either/or— both/and!
Questions ? Open Discussion.
How do we get there?
Through a shared badge ecosystem & infrastructure:
a universal standard.
