29. Feedback, Monitoring and Evaluation – final stages (ALL)
Standards & Quality Assurance Open Badges
Baseline survey (~30 min)
Q&A in optional web clinics
HPass.org, info@hpass.org: downloads, inquiries
Emails (summarized)
Self-evaluation forms & action plans
(summarized)
Online feedback form
Coach feedback (form, FGD)
Auditor survey
Audited organisation survey
Badge application forms
Workbook(s), worksheets
Open Badge Factory: badges, reports
myHPass: badges, reports
End-line survey (~30 min)
Some: Semi-Structured Interviews (SSI) or Focus Group Discussion (FGD) (~1 hr)
Pilot period: testing the service, suggesting improvements,
soliciting user stories

30. Key findings of the pilot
Standards: lots of time and effort was needed to understand and self-assess, much less be audited
against the standards. Some issues with multi-national federated organisations.
Some distraction of standards vs. badging
Some confusion: several organisations felt they needed to be audited in order to issue badges at all
Coaching was a crucial support; CoP elements were also useful (web clinics and BaseCamp)
Service offering needs to be better integrated overall, with badges as the medium for recognition
myHPass (Passport) is emerging as the key to future recognition value for the community – skills
registry, badge catalogue, endorsement, shared alignments, etc. (“Social Life of Open Badges”)

31. Next Steps

32. 2018 -> 2019
Analysis, Business Planning, Fundraising
