COMPONENTS OF THE BADGES ECOSYSTEM II

…but we do not need to worry about this.

THE VALUE OF A BADGE…

Independently of the skill or achievement that it represents, the value of a badge is linked to:• How well it is defined (=quality of the metadata)• The robustness of the instruction and assessment

mechanism (rigour)• The reputation of the issuer as source of

instruction• The recognition of badges by the target community

… IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ISSUER

GBIF AND PILOT AT GB22 TRAINING EVENT

As an issuer, we need to concentrate in:• Defining clear, instructionally significant

requirements to earn each badge• Define and apply thorough, relevant assessment

methods• Create awareness about the badge system and

promote its use

The plans made early in 2015 became a reality as part of the GB22 training event for Nodeshttp://community.gbif.org/pg/pages/view/48270/gb22-training-event-for-nodes
