Information Literate: A Badge of Honor Using online badges to promote student progress towards information literacy Presented by Neil Krasnoff Region 10 Library Summit August 15th, 2014
Introduction-Discussion What is the best way for librarians to promote college readiness? How can we motivate students and measure results?
One possible solution… Online Open Badges!
Online Badge Basics • Based on scouting merit badges • Visual representation of meaningful skill, interest, achievement or award • Earned through specific projects, courses or other activities • Not simply an assessment
Elements of Online Badges • Visual representation of skill • Linked to Information (metadata): – How earned? – Who issued it? – When issued? • Open platform (Mozilla) as visible across platforms (sharable)
Advantages of Badges • Give learner more control and ownership • Motivates individuals towards deeper learning (game-ification) • Learner acquires meaningful credentials useful for employment or educational opportunities
Badge Management • Mozilla Foundation www.openbadges.org • Open platform may be used by any person or group customized to their needs http://cred.ly • Free platform for creating, issuing and storing badges • Offers premium services for cost • Dallas Museum of Art badge program
Two Demos 1. Using Credly for issuing a badge 2. DMA Video example of badge ecosystem http://vimeo.com/61111779
Can we envision an Info Lit Badge Ecosystem? • That makes students want to be information literate? • That gives librarians real clout by issuing credentials and endorsements that matter • Your ideas? Using DMA as inspiration
My Ideas • Work with computer programming students design badge program for your school library • Have librarians from DFW collaborate on creating badges that provide deep and meaningful immersion in Information Literacy and Digital Citizenship • Let’s start with a trip to DMA
If you’re still with me… • Earn a badge today using AASL or ISTE Standards to draft criteria for earning a badge • By sending me your badge ideas, you will receive a badge and an invitation to a DMA field trip! • Use Boy Scouts Chess example (handout) as example or rigorous learning experience • Submit Idea through Google Form at: http://goo.gl/8WguBM
