Open Badge Implementation – Perspectives from the External Badging Community
Digital badges have become a new area in educational innovation. A digital badge signifies a specific accomplishment, and takes the form of a graphical icon which is stored in a personalized space on the web. Clicking the icon reveals information related to the earning of the badge. Typically, badge metadata identifies the recipient, issuer, date of issue, and qualification criteria. Several organizations and academic institutions have begun using badges to micro-credential activities in courses and programs, however, the badge movement is emerging and key learnings have yet to be reported. Kate Chandler, a graduate student from the School of Library, Archival and Information Science and Graduate Assistant to Open Badges UBC, and Erin Fields, Liaison Librarian, Flexible Learning Coordinator, and Co-Lead for the Open Badges UBC FL-TLEF project, have spent the summer interviewing museum directors, technologists, and university professors to learn from their experience implementing badging programs. This session will present both theoretical perspectives, practical advice, and key learnings related to digital badge projects.
