Open badges can be awarded for a potentially limitless set of individual competencies, experiences, knowledge and skills, regardless of where or how those are developed. Collections of badges can serve as living transcripts or virtual resumés of competencies and qualities that communicate to key stakeholders such as peers, schools, higher education institutions, or employers.

Horizon: Four to Five Years

The Horizon Report

Page 35: Badge your way to digital literacy

• Digital badges have been a boon for efforts to validate the acquisition of soft skills such as problem-solving, persistence, communication, and other attributes that are valued by employers.

• The ultimate goal (of digital badges) is to develop a method of evaluation that will complement traditionally recognized credentials.

• Currently, digital badging systems are gaining traction in many online learning environments including Khan Academy, with promising results.

• “Passport to Success,” is a badging system that tracks achievements through grades K-12 and is implemented alongside a college readiness program.

Credentials Reform: How technology and the changing needs of the workforce will create the higher education system of the future by Jamie Merisotis

• Learning will be the core measure of progress with students able to demonstrate what they’ve learned through dynamic platforms.

• Today’s job seekers can possess everything from associate degrees and apprenticeships to occupational licenses and education certificates, all the way to digital badges and employer-based certification.

• There is a drive to connect credentials from a variety of providers into one comprehensive and navigable system which uses a universal taxonomy.

• For 21st century workers the digital resume should be seen as a reservoir of skills and competencies that have been accumulated over time from a range of providers and provides flexibility to manipulate and group competencies and skills as required by potential employers.

What to consider

• Purpose • Stakeholders (students, school, future employers)• Audience (single or multiple)• Types of badges (hard skills, soft skills, progress,

achievement• Lifecycle• Learning Pathways (linear / non-linear)• Implementation (who is responsible for creating,

administering, assessing, accrediting)• User experience• Platform to be used / technology• Metrics and analytics

Page 38: Badge your way to digital literacy

Where to from here……

• Aim for seamless integration without the need for a third party program outside the LMS

• Continue to change the culture from badges merely being a glorified reward sticker to a legitimate and valuable credentialing system for skills and competencies.

• Explore other curriculum areas that could benefit from the use of this digital credentialing system
