Editor's Notes

• #5: An Open Badge is a digital reward Gives recognition of skills including soft skills - be difficult to document – good for evidencing skills to future employers Motivate people to participate & contribute (in a course, initiative, forum) Can be used in assessment – identification of learning, attributes and competencies Open infrastructure - based on the Mozilla Open Badges Infrastructure (OBI) - for issuing, managing and sharing credentials
• #6: So what is a badge? Online, visual representations of achievements, skills, attributes, learning, competencies, contributions etc Digital badges with metadata baked in – these include criteria and can include evidence Align to a standard developed by an international community Underpinned by the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) developed by Mozilla Provide an opportunity to capture and demonstrate some of those skills that are not currently explicit in an academic qualification, such as soft skills like presentation and communication skills, employability skills like leadership, the ability to mentor others, being a good team player.
• #7: Digital credentials earners can display online Earners store their badges in a badge pack. Earners can then choose to add their badges or groups of badges to online platforms such as recruitment sites, professional profile sites, on their own blogs, personal websites etc.

Those who are successfully complete all the activities in the online courses are awarded a Completer Badge We also have a Tutor badge awarded to those who have facilitated our courses And an Influencer Badge which is a peer awarded badge (more details later)
• #10: 3 courses currently available in the series: Online Communication & e-Tutoring eAssessment for Learning Digital Literacies for Digital Learning The LOL courses are 2 or 3 week fully-online courses delivered via Moodle. During the courses we build a community of learners and the courses are designed to encourage collaborative and peer learning.

• #12: Screenshot of OCeT Overview & Timings 2 week course screenshot of pre-course activities and suggested timetable for week one of the course
• #13: Screenshot of OCeT Completer OB OB Criteria – link on the OB image would take people to the criteria page Information about the course What participants had to do to complete the course including the couse matrices detailing criteria for successfully completing the Journal activity and forum activity
• #14: LOL Open Badges – Influencer Badge Each LOL course includes the opportunity for a peer awarded Influencer Open Badge Voting rules At the end of the course, participants vote for peers they believe helped to influence the learning of themselves and / or the group as a whole. They are asked to consider, and to vote for any peers they believe have met, the following: Participant made a significant and constructive contribution to discussions Participant provided reflections and / or links and / or additional information pertinent to the course subject Participant enhanced the experience of the course for the group and / or myself through their contributions Participant demonstrated the principles of netiquette in their contributions to the course Anyone receiving 3+ votes from their peers, and successfully completing the course, will receive the Influencer badge
• #15: Open Badges – Feedback from LOL participants Feedback on including open badges in our courses has been positive – quote from participant on the eAfL course. Have the option to gain an Open Badge does seem to motivate course participants and having the option of a peer awarded influencer badge does introduce an added incentive and the standard of contribution from participants in these courses is extremely high.
• #16: Digital Practitioner – Extending the Series Jisc RSC Scotland are currently working on expanding the Digital Practitioner Series. As well as the online courses, we offer face-to-face workshops and a number of other virtual sessions. We’re planning on rolling out our new digital practitioner badges next academic year. A lot of thought and planning has gone into these badges, particularly with regard to the badges criteria – we don’t want to award badges for attending CPD – instead we have devised ‘evidence templates’ which will need to be successful completed before badges are awarded. ��
