Emerging public policy: UK Minister of State for Skills and Enterprise

“In broad terms, the conferring of an Open Badge on a learner is similar to the award of a qualification certificate, and the same quality standards must be ensured.

The emerging opportunities offered by Open Badges in the areas of peer assessment, employer partnership, learning analytics and the engagement of learners means that it should be considered in learning technology at various levels.

We will encourage Awarding Organisations, Ofqual and Ofsted to be aware of the potential of this technology.”
