The Europortfolio team presented on July 2 2014 the "ePortfolios and Open Badges Maturity Matrix". The objective was to collect feedback from practitioners and experts on a document that is aimed at helping organisations to plan and reflect on current developments and lay the foundations for the development of a review tool (self-assessment) that will be used to plan, monitor and review ePortfolios and Open Badges policies, technologies and practices.
What was presented is an alpha version (draft) of the Matrix and we are looking forward to the feedback of the community to produce a beta version that will be used to build the self-assessment tool. Based on the outcomes of the self-assessment tool's exploitation, a final version of the Matrix will be produced.
If you want to start contributing, the maturity matrix is accessible at:
* http://bit.ly/mmpdf - a pdf to download
* http://bit.ly/mmgdoc - a Google doc open for comments. Editing rights will be provided to those willing to work with us

Not Yet Aware Committed Established Advanced
Accreditation of prior
experience and
learning
APEL is practiced but only by a
small number of staff and/or
discipline.
There is a policy for accreditation of
prior experience and learning for
admissions and advanced standing
The APEL policy is systematically
reviewed and improved. it is
supported by senior management
and educational leaders.
The lessons learned through the
practice of APEL are shared with
the larger community, beyond the
institutional boundaries.
Recording and
reporting progress
and achievement
There is a pilot scheme in one or
more areas to use electronic
means to record individual
progress and achievement
Electronic means of recording
individual progress and
achievement are spreading across
the organisation.
Systematic participation and
contribution of staff in the collection
of evidence, review and reflection
processes is changing the
organisational culture
Individual progress and
achievements are aggregated
beyond the institution's boundaries
to contribute to the improvement
and/or transformation of the
learning environment
Providing Feedback
Feedback on learners' performance
is clear, constructive and timely,
using a variety of sources to
prompt reflection and further action
Clear, constructive and timely
feedback is recorded and the effect
measured (feedback loop).
Teaching staff collaborate on a
regular basis to provide holistic
feedback, beyond the performance
in individual disciplines.
The art of providing clear,
constructive and timely feedback is
transmitted to the learners to
contribute to the improvement of
teaching and learning.
Authentic
assessment
Some individual initiatives have
developed forms of assessment
rooted in performance in real-life
settings — beyond examination
under controlled conditions
Organisational structures and
processes have been developed to
accommodate and encourage
assessment of performance in real-
life settings.
The organisation prioritises
assessment evidence from real life
performance, rarely and
exceptionally using controlled
assessments
Assessment is treated as "learning
about learning" and is deeply
intertwined with the learning
process which is itself based on
authentic learning experiences.
Self and Peer
Assessment
Self and peer-assessment are used
by some teachers.
Learners are encouraged to
practice self and peer-assessment.
The practice of self- and peer-
assessment is integrated into
learning practice and is celebrated
as a competency in its own right.
Teachers and learners are treated
equally, i.e. learners assessment of
teachers are regarded as 'peer-

ICT Policy
The lack of ICT policy has been
identified as an obstacle to the
efficiency of the investments in ICT
for learning.
The organisation is committed to
the design and implementation of
an ICT policy developed through
consultation of all stakeholders
across the institution.
The ICT policy is regularly
monitored, reviewed and evaluated
in the context of the organisation's
other policies, in line with the
organisation's vision and goals and
involving all stakeholders.
The organisation has a well-
established, successful and
rigorous framework for monitoring
and reviewing all its strategies and
policies, and the monitoring and
reviewing of ICT within this
framework and takes into account
local, regional, sectoral and
national priorities.
Privacy policy
Privacy is dealt on an ad-hoc basis
by individual teachers.
The organisation is committed to
protect privacy through establishing
policies and implementing privacy
technology — e.g. privacy by
design.
The institution's privacy is fully
integrated in the ICT policy. The
technical infrastructure is fully
compliant with regulations and best
practices regarding privacy.
The organisation is part of a trust
infrastructure, a federation
facilitating the exchange of
personal data under the control of
the individuals.
Innovation
ICT is mainly used to support
previously established practice —
e.g. use an interactive white board
to deliver lectures or the Internet to
deliver distance courses.
ICT is used in a number of pilot
projects to challenge and transform
current teaching and learning
practices.
The use of ICT is primarily sought
for allowing practices that would
not have been possible without it —
e.g. learning analytics.
Organisation's leaders are actively
involved and recognised in
innovation networks, beyond the
institutional boundaries.
Internal connectivity
There are few computers and they
are located in dedicated rooms.
All learners have access to a

Motivation /
Ownership
The motivation for learners to
create ePortfolios is mainly
extrinsic, e.g. a requirement from
the institution.
The institution is committed to
ensuring individual ownership of
ePortfolios and learners are
actively involved in the decision
process.
Learners are intrinsically motivated
and have full ownership of their
ePortfolios. This is demonstrated
by the continuation of individual
ePortfolios beyond the time of
study within the institution.
Portfolios are a central tool for
building institutional and personal
constructions of individuals’ activity,
achievements, life and identity.
Content
Learners have little choice over the
content of the ePortfolio, which is
prescribed by the institution.
The institution is committed to let
learners choose and control the
content of their individual
ePortfolios and keep separate
individual ePortfolios and
institutional ePortfolios.
Learners have full control over the
content of their ePortfolios, while
the institution has full control over
the content of the information
learners need to provide for
monitoring the learning process.
The information collected for /
provided to the institutional
ePortfolios is seamlessly collected
from the content of the individual
ePortfolios.
Access
Access to ePortfolios is fully under
institution control and supervision.
Learners do not have the choice of
the tool for managing their
ePortfolios.
The institution is committed to

organisational boundaries -e.g.
clients, suppliers, professional
bodies, regulatory and awarding
bodies.
Management
Individual ePortfolio infrastructure
is managed by the institution for the
learners. There is no clear
distinction between individual and
institutional ePortfolios
Individual ePortfolio infrastructure
is managed by the institution with
the learners.
Individual ePortfolio infrastructure
is fully managed by the learners.
Individual /
institutional
ePortfolios
revise
There is an ePortfolio Management
System (ePMS) but it is not
integrated in the information
system. Personal ePortfolios must
be created within the ePMS.
The organisation is committed to let
learners choose their own tools to
manage their personal ePortfolios.
The ePMS is used to support
organisational processes such as
assessment, accreditation, etc.
using data from individual
ePortfolios.
The ePMS leaves learners free to
choose their own environment for
their personal ePortfolio — BYOD
(bring your own device) applied to
ePortfolios. The interaction
between individual ePortfolios and
the ePMS is seamless.
The ePMS interacts seamlessly
with external information systems
and learners can bring their own
ePortfolios across multiple learning
environments and institutions

Not Yet Aware Committed Established Advanced
Motivation /
Ownership
The motivation to earn Open
Badges is mainly extrinsic, e.g. to
get a grade or a reward — mainly
designed for the learners and
awarded by the institution or a
person of authority within the
institution.
Learners are actively encouraged
to co-design the Open Badges eco-
system, including through the
design and delivery of their own
Badges.
All stakeholders are actively
involved in the co-design of the
Open Badges institutional eco-
system.
All stakeholders are actively
involved in the co-design of the
Open Badges eco-system, beyond
the institutional boundaries.
Adoption
Open Badges practice is limited to
a small number of innovators.
A significant number/critical mass
of staff/learners are developing
Open Badges practice across the
curriculum.
Open Badges are embedded in the
institution with the support of senior
leadership and advocacy.
Learners and staff engagement
almost universally positive; Open
Badges used as a central tool for
building both institutional and
personal constructions of
individuals’ activity, achievements,
life and identity.
Leadership
Leaders/champions of Open
Badges practice have emerged but
are not yet recognised by the
institution.
Senior staff and educational
leaders are committed to
establishing a shared vision of
Open Badges practice and how it
relates to the organisation's overall
mission.
Senior staff and educational
leaders can articulate a clear vision
of how Open Badges practice will
develop and might transform
learning and the curriculum.
Senior staff and educational
leaders contribute to the overall
Open Badges vision and strategy
at local, regional and national
levels.
Policy
The lack of an Open Badges policy
has been identified as an obstacle
to the development of practices
associated to Open Badges.

articulated an Open Badges policy
regarding the different stakeholder
groups, including staff.
Data collected from Open Badges
is used as prime source to inform
the organisation's policy.
Open Badges data is used as
prime source of information to
inform policies at local/regional/
national levels — e.g. mapping the
competencies of a territory.
