The Open Badges Initiative
     A good thing?




Richard Wyles, Totara LMS at MaharaUK12
http://maharauk.org/mod/resource/view.php?id=117
Capturing the learning path
    • Illustrates the learning path rather than
      aggregated assessments
    • Badges can be more granular, aligned to a
      specific achievement
    • Portable, alternative certification model




Wyles, 2012
Visual recognition of achievement
      With links to validation
    • Perceived value will differ based on the “use
      case”, or community. A wide variety of badge
      systems will emerge;
               Formal education
               Professional bodies
               Peer to peer recognition
               Corporate, workplace learning
    • Infrastructure to support diversity of contexts
      with better robustness and connection to Issuer.



Wyles, 2012
Embedded information
    •   Who was the Issuer?
    •   Issue date
    •   Brief description of how badge was earned
    •   Links to artefacts, testimonials etc.
         – i.e. the e-portfolio
    • Web service for verification.
         – “Did the Issuer issue the badge?”
         – “Is it still valid?”



Wyles, 2012
Open Badges: Risks and Benefits
    • Infrastructure for alternative credentialing
         – Modern society demands new and dynamic skills and
           literacies. Requires innovation and flexibility in
           learning environments
    • Anyone can issue accreditations about anything?
      Won’t this lead to badge “bling” and therefore
      badges become meaningless?
         – Badges need credibility but it’s within context
         – Only some will gain credibility



Wyles, 2012
http://neilhammond.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/op
    What might happen afterwards?




                                                                                 en-badges-visual-design-and-semantic.html
                                                                                 •

  • 18. Capturing the learning path • Illustrates the learning path rather than aggregated assessments • Badges can be more granular, aligned to a specific achievement • Portable, alternative certification model Wyles, 2012
  • 19. Visual recognition of achievement With links to validation • Perceived value will differ based on the “use case”, or community. A wide variety of badge systems will emerge;  Formal education  Professional bodies  Peer to peer recognition  Corporate, workplace learning • Infrastructure to support diversity of contexts with better robustness and connection to Issuer. Wyles, 2012
  • 20. Embedded information • Who was the Issuer? • Issue date • Brief description of how badge was earned • Links to artefacts, testimonials etc. – i.e. the e-portfolio • Web service for verification. – “Did the Issuer issue the badge?” – “Is it still valid?” Wyles, 2012
  • 21. Open Badges: Risks and Benefits • Infrastructure for alternative credentialing – Modern society demands new and dynamic skills and literacies. Requires innovation and flexibility in learning environments • Anyone can issue accreditations about anything? Won’t this lead to badge “bling” and therefore badges become meaningless? – Badges need credibility but it’s within context – Only some will gain credibility Wyles, 2012
