Hinweis der Redaktion
- The scope of application of Bestr is Lifelong & Lifewide Learning (L3), in full compliance with the European directives about lifelong learning and the relative Italian legislation in terms of skill certification (Legislative Decree 13/2013) and profession certification (Law 4/2013). Therefore, lifelong…
- …and Lifewide because it spreads over all education areas: formal, non-formal and informal, being able to “seize” and give value to all the experiences that are lived even outside school and the academic environment, in the world of work, in social life, in the non-profit sector, and in life in a broad sense.
- Formal Diplomas and certificates School University Therefore, this is how we reach Bestr overall vision, which allows covering all the lifelong and lifewide learning space, going beyond formal learning and the certification of educational qualifications and degrees through the use of open badges in order to collect in an accurate manner all the other types of certification that – by means of e-Portfolio platforms – can be traced back and harmonised in the context of the individual’s unitary and global vision.
- References to the OBI standard, with references to the Internet resources indicated below.
- References to the OBI standard, with references to the Internet resources indicated below.
- By using open-badges – if widely adopted – it is possible to obtain the resumé complete certification, even for non-formal and informal learning and, by means of the modern e-Portfolio platforms (that originally support OBI), to create a 2.0 digital resumé made up of true data that can be immediately verified and accompanied by visual elements (photos, videos, documents) and personalised texts. An example of a modern e-Portfolio platform is PATHBRITE, which is well known in the US and has also been adopted by the Stanford University, not only as a learner’s empowerment tool but also as an educational tool to support academic teaching based on the skills and on the evidence exhibited by students during their path and assessed by teachers according to shared, predefined rubrics.
- On Bestr, companies can also find the best (favouring the path of skill profiles that are favourable to them and in which they are directly interested), on the condition that they become issuers or endorsers of badges by means of which learners are correctly indicated which the actual and specific requirements in the production world are in terms of skills and professional profiles. A company can define and publish its badges on bestr, or sponsor (endorse) the badges produced and published by other institutions or even by other companies. In the first case, the company is the issuer; in the second case, it is the endorser. But in both cases the objective of formalising in a clear and unmistakable manner the demand for certain specific skills and, therefore, the need to organise assessment systems and support learning paths is achieved. Without this signal, on the company’s side, there is the risk that learning will be aimed at objectives that are different or depart from the real requirements and for which learners might not have interest and motivation to invest money and – above all – time and resources.
- When the company issues a new badge or endorses a badge published by other issuers, the learner receives a notification in his/her personal dashboard. This slide shows a preview of such dashboard. By means of the personal dashboard, learners will be able to quickly access their backpack, make searches in the entire badges store, keep the current activities under control (last badges obtained, badges for which they are working, additional badges that could be taken to complete a predefined profile or pathway). In addition, it will also be possible to check the list of all the other users who have the same badges as the current user, or of those users who are working to obtain the same badge. The user’s interface will also contain reserved sections to diffuse static contents (blog) the subject and topics of which are connected with the individual's profile and his/her collection of badges obtained.
- This is the home-page of the individual badge, the page that describes all the characteristics of a badge published on Bestr. The page can also be accessed from Bestr public area (without login), and – by means of it – the people browsing the page will be able to get information about the characteristics of this certification opportunity in order to be able to decide whether they want to “take to the road” to conquer it. Some operations (such as the “get it” key) will be available only if the user is logged in to the system and has entered the relative reserved area.
- The second page of the individual badge shows the criteria and the evidence with respect to which the badge may be given: it is the page that describes the assessment criteria that must be met by the learner in order to achieve the objective.
- Finally, in the third page, the possible learning paths and the learning resources that are available are shown (in the form of on-line courses or with attendance or teaching materials to be downloaded). Learning resources are – by definition – optional. Whereas assessment resources are compulsory. Each resource could be associated with a price (depends on the provider) that the learner must pay in order to be able to access such resource. This is the marketplace function.
- Badge obtained notification, after successfully passing the assessment phases. Once the badge has been obtained, the “share it” key can be used to post it on social channels such as Twitter or Facebook.
- In Bestr, we foresee 3 assessment management modes that can also be used in a combined manner within sequential assessment paths. The first assessment mode is the one performed through the platform itself, directly by the issuer, who simply gives the badge to a user at its own unquestionable discretion (evidently after an assessment procedure conducted outside the system and of which Bestr has no knowledge). The second mode is based on quantitative evidence expressed by specific learning indicators or KPI: for example, the metrics related to the attendance to an on-line course and to the results of the verification micro-tests conducted during the lessons within the platform. The third mode is based on computer-based tests (CBT) taken within proctored environments (test-centres) appealing to the NICE platform (nice.kion.it), which manages a network of 40 test-centres all over Italy fed by a CBT platform called NICE-test in CINECA datacentre.
- SHOW THE 3 ACTIVITIES (SEE SLIDES AFTER): DEFINE THE BADGE, OFFER LEARNING, OFFER ASSESSMENT. Learning resources (cubes) and assessment resources (magnifying glasses) are resources produced by (different) providers and “assembled” in Bestr store in support of the badge. Providers may want to ask for the payment of a fee for the access to such resources. In that case, Bestr offers the marketplace function with which learners can pay the fees in order to access the individual resources. On the sales, CINECA keeps a percentage (to be agreed upon) in order to cover the Bestr platform maintenance and operation costs.
