This document summarizes a webinar about creating a new learning currency with open badges. Open badges are a web standard that captures and communicates skills and attributes. They allow learning to be recognized across different silos and systems. Recent data shows that over 2 million badges have been issued by over 14,000 issuers worldwide. The webinar discusses how open badges are being used by universities and others to recognize both formal and informal learning, as well as new developments including endorsement and annotation features that allow third parties to contribute context. It also explores the potential for open badges and pathways to help link learning and employment.

His job at Mozilla involves a combination of both, since he codes and writes specifications for others who want to use the tools he builds.

Editor's Notes
- #2: DigitalMe Dedicated to ensure learners gain recognition for all their skills use badges to help the showcase their skills to unlock opportunities for learing and employment So first of all why did we get involved with Open Badges? Believe, like most people do that learning is much more than the paper based certficates problem is that learning, informal learning or applied learning isnt recognised. Presents a real problem for us because over the past 10 yrs weve collaborated on countless informal or applied learning programmes young people arent getting the recognition for learning Over yrs weve tried to map our programmes against qualifications either too inflexible or they come and at governments whim When Badges came along they seemed to offer an opporunity for us to take control of acreditation within our programmes Now we spend our time working with a whole range or organisations helping them implmenet
- #3: Has anyone heard of open badges?
- #4: Often a better example of a digital badge ebay badge represents behaviour as well as skills - its trusted and is built up over time, micro transactions, awarded by a community therefore more valuable representation of an individual. Evidence of their badge can be viewed online as feedback - transparent
- #5: Has anyone heard of open badges?
- #6: Open Badges is new technology油standard which skills to be captured and shared.油 Like email is a standard everyone recognises open badges are a new standard for the communication of skills
- #7: Develop by Mozilla Foundation global non-profit. Mozilla is a global, nonprofit organization dedicated to making the Web better. We believe that the Web is a shared public resource to be cared for, not a commodity to be sold. Creates open source tools to enable people to learn how to create the web, not just consume it. Good ethos around privacy and data open badges are about enabling learners to own their own data Designed specifically for skills recognition Specifically to create new learning pathways. Open in two ways: Anyone can create them (brings up issues of value) Open data user owns their data and can display where they choose to So how does this work?
- #8: Why needed? Qualifications often only reflect a narrow view of a person. Familiar problem - Learning is often siloed difficult to present a holistic view of a learner across different settings connect hobbies with in school qualifications. Even formal qualifications are very meta difficult to understand the granularity and range of achievements they represent. Open badges potentially provide a way to connect all of this together,
- #9: Beaty of open badges - Create an ecosystem where skills can be recognised anywhere and shared across boundaries- this is what the new technology allows
- #10: Example - Health champion menu & meals they have cooked with their family Easier example Much more dynamic that a paperbased certificate. Contains: Criteria what someone has had to do to earn it Evidence dynamic data to illustrate skills, brings an individual to life Standards and tags in the future open badges can connect people with opportunities across the web
- #11: Aim is to deliver this workflow or pathway Important that the badges have value in the real world
- #26: Examples of badges in action Think Big - innovative scheme to develop digital social entrepreneurial skills - NHS - meeting challenge of increased demand through training volunteers & of course iDEA award with endorsement from palace Have worked with ILM to recognise staff development
- #27: So most useful thing is to show examples of this in practice What: iDEA new digital enterprise programme, supported by Palace & Nominet Trust. How badges work: Industry endorsed badge library skills defined by employers e.g. facebook, barclays, salesforce. Badges unlock opportunities back into those orgs VALUE: built in at different points - for earners via incentives. Value for employers as they can identify talent via filtering & trusted endorsement. BEHAVIOURS: But the way the badges have been designed also encourages behaviours of self-directed learning, critical thinking, problem solving & increased self-confidence
- #28: Another example CPD badges for teachers. Providing the skills & confidence to deliver the new computing curriculum. How the badges work: Self certifying Apply skill in practise evidence. Peer validates that evidence Passing skill on to someone else. External validation through naace TRUST via multiple validation at different levels BEHAVIOURS: Encouraging behaviours again of self-directed learning, peer critique and support to create a sustainable self-serve CPD model
- #37: New model provides validation from multiple points via peers or community, experts or educators and via industry or employers This builds value and trust into the heart of the badge and is a model particularly relevant to city & guilds
- #44: Show app - demo later
- #45: Maybe we could split the process into organisations - job training, volunteering ect (create you badge and launch it into the library) Second slide
