16. What are Open Badges?
• Open Badges is a digital accreditation
infrastructure from Mozilla.
• Open Badges are images with metadata hard-
coded into them…
• Visual representations of achievements,
learning, skills, competencies etc.
• They can accommodate formal & informal
learning pathways.
• Open Badges can capture learning wherever &
however it occurs – recognition for this learning
can then be shared in places that matter to the
learner.
17. Activity
• Think about the badges you may
want to issue.
• Arrange the badges into groups of
similar badges - this might be
based around a theme, a subject
a course or other similar over-
arching cluster of related badges
• Draw a representation of your
badge cluster / constellation /
pathway in the box
18. Badge Content Design
• Who?
– Earners, Issuers, Viewers,
Endorsers?
• Why?
– Earn, Issue, View, Endorse?
• Skills / Attributes /
Understanding
– What does the badge
represent?
• Behaviours
– What behaviours does the
badge encourage?
• Criteria
– What do you need to do to
earn the badge?
• Evidence
– What will it be?
• Assessment
– How would you assess?
• Channels
– Where would a user find
out about the badge?
• Tags
– Keywords
• Resources/Sustainability
– Expertise, Money, Time?
20. Activity - Badge Content Design
We have found that creating badges with
your hands is a great way to get people to
engage and think about Open Badges…
• Brand
• Consistent visual indicators
• Shape
• Common visual themes
• Logo / image
• Graphics
• Size
• Font
21. Badge Systems

24. What Next?
• Think up some criteria (use the Jisc Open Badge
Toolkit).
• Issue a badge to someone using Moodle,
http://badg.us/ or https://credly.com/ .
• Play! Experiment! Earn more badges at
http://www.openbadges.org/ to see how they
work.
• Join the Open Badges community. Ask questions!
• Launch a pilot. What behaviours / skills /
understanding are you trying to promote?

So, what are Open Badges? Just out of interest…
How many of you have implemented Open Badges?
How many of have heard of Open Badges?
And how many of you are complete new to Open Badges?
So, Open Badges are a digital accreditation infrastructure from Mozilla. As I’m sure you all aware learning today happens everywhere. But it’s often difficult to get recognition for skills and achievements for the informal learning that takes place. Open Badges helps solve this problem.
Essentially, Open Badges are image with metadata hard-coded into them…
Ok, so just put that into context, here is a badge titled issued by the Occupational Therapy team at York St John University for their Professional Skills and Reasoning module. This badge was automatically issued through Moodle our learning management system.
So, Open Badges are visual, digital representations of achievements, learning, skills and competencies…
And they accommodate formal and informal learning pathways but ultimately captures the complete learning path…
So let’s have a look at how it all works?
Ok, So let’s have a look at how it all works, we will start with the learner…
A learner can earn badges from a number of places – this could be an organisation, training provider, a University. Within a HE institutions, badges could be delivered by different teams such as the programme team for the degree they’re studying, Careers, student union etc. We are going to share with you later in the presentation how different departments within our institution are using Open Badges.
Badges the learner earns are stored in their backpack…
Badges can then be shared on social media profiles (such as LinkedIn), online portfolios and personal webpages where learners can build a digital resume/CV. This could lead to unlocking new possibilities such as job opportunities and accreditation. For example, Badges could be used as evidence for gaining fellowship of the HEA.
A backpack belongs to the learner… it’s essential a repository for collecting and displaying badges from a variety of issuers. Within the backpack learners can delete badges, import badges, set privacy controls (so make them public or private) and create groups of badges called collections.
If you click on any of the badges in the backpack you will be able to see the badges meta-data - so here you can see the name and description of the badge, the issuer details and a link to the criteria for earning the badge.
Learners can group badges into collections – these can then be displayed in the relevant places. For example, in portfolios for accredited awards.
To conclude… Open Badges can capture learning wherever & however it occurs – recognition for this learning can then be shared in places that matter to the learner.
