Encouraging positive learning behaviours, recognising a wide variety of skills, attributes and understanding, enhancing motivation, developing digital identities… are just some of the aspirations people have been using Open Badges to support. Open Badges are part of an open infrastructure that enables digital credentials to be issued, earned and shared across the web. In this presentation I discuss some Open Badge developments happening in Scotland and further afield, including work I have been doing with Mozilla on the Discovery project, which is working with industry in the US to develop badge-based pathways to employment.

- 22. Open Badges D14 - Open Thinking, Open Learning 30/05/2014 22 What people are saying about Open Badges “…while academic achievements can be evidenced by an…academic transcript, there is no such evidence of so-called soft skills – the personal attributes that enhance a graduate’s work ethic, job performance, interaction with work colleagues and, ultimately, their career prospects. I am convinced that Open Badges can …evidence the development of these personal attributes in a way that is recognisable to, and trusted by, employers.” TomCaira, Chair of the IndustrialAdvisory Board (Computing). University of theWest of Scotland

- When an employer is receiving hundreds if not thousands of applications for a job, how do your students stand out from the crowd? What can help differentiate one student from another as having more pertinent skills, attributes or achievements for that position? We know employers are keen to know more about those additional skills or attributes, the so-called soft or additional skills that can help someone flourish in the workplace - How do we help employers see them?

- Increasingly many of the ways in which we work, communicate and learn involve the online environment. Increasingly employers and recruitment agencies are also using the online environment to find potential candidates for jobs. - So how can we help meet the needs of digital learners and also help students to stand out and demonstrate their employability in the online environment?
- Mozilla have developed an open infrastructure which allows anyone to earn, issue and share digital credentials across the web.
- The most obvious part of the system are probably the badges, the digital credentials.
- Open Badges are information infused images. This concept is nothing new, think of coats of arms or kite marks – the images provide information to the viewer
- So what is a badge? Online, visual representations of achievements, skills, attributes, learning, competencies, contributions etc Digital badges with metadata baked in – these include criteria and can include evidence Align to a standard developed by an international community Underpinned by the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) developed by Mozilla Provide an opportunity to capture and demonstrate some of those skills that are not currently explicit in an academic qualification, such as soft skills like presentation and communication skills, employability skills like leadership, the ability to mentor others, being a good team player and so on
- The open infrastructure is key to ensuring the credentials or badges, are not locked away in closed systems but that earners can display these credentials in whichever online platform they find useful.
- Earners store their badges in a badgepack. Currently there is only one provided by Mozilla but as it is an open infrastructure, there is scope for other providers to create their own badge stores for providers to create their own. Earners can then choose to add their badges or groups of badges to online platforms such as recruitment sites, professional profile sites, on their own blogs, personal websites etc.
- We have been exploring the potential of Open Badges at the Jisc RSC Scotland for over 2 years and piloting them with our courses and other services. Here is a quote from one of our participants. Borders College, who Suzanne will talk about in more detail soon have also been issuing badges this year, and can see clear potential for them. The Vice-Principal comments how they can help to motivate learning, improve retention and help learners stand out in the jobs market.
- For any new accreditation system to be worthwhile, it must be useful for employers. Tom Caira, the Chair of the Industrial Advisory Board (Computing) at UWS which has around 80 members from the computing industry including large multi-nationals to local employers, talks about how he believes Open Badges could help to evidence some of the attributes employers are looking for.
