Editor's Notes
- (Chris) On screen before starting
- Introductions: Chris Clark, from Notre Dame Gwynn Mettetal from Indiana U South Bend Robin Sullivan from Buffalo Alex Ambrose from Notre Dame Dave Pedersen, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University* * Prior collaborator and co-presenter at POD.
- Groups offer badges, verify submissions, and issue badges, backing up their value Learners seek, earn, and display the badges Viewers (current supervisors, potential employers, colleagues, friends, etc.) see the badges and check out the evidence

- This summary of the process you just went through is also a framework for measuring levels of engagement in a badging program First line - internal/personal, learning Second line - external/public, validation, etc.
- Badging at Educational Development Centers
- (Gwynn)
- Three levels of expertise “Independent study for faculty”---most any faculty development topic. Turn in documentation--goes to 3 people (UCET staff, UCET board member, other) for review
- From our website Badges are posted on the website with link to materials We allow “post hoc” badges--particularly to let senior faculty document Experimenting with Credly--not there yet.
- Our institutes (whole semester initiatives) are set up so that completion results in Bronze badge. Currently Active Learning, Course Design, and SoTL
- We use portfolios, and you “make your best case.” So Badges are just one more means of documenting what you have learned/done. Junior faculty are very excited. Senior faculty are learning . . . .

- Originally aimed at grad students, now open to faculty and staff as well
- (Alex) Welcome from the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence team at the Daytona Beach campus of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Embry Riddle is a multi-campus university with residential campuses at Daytona Beach, FL, and Prescott, AZ as well as a Worldwide campus with online courses and on ground locations around the world. At Daytona we have about 6000 undergraduate and graduate students and about 400 faculty. Embry Riddle is a recognized leader in aviation and aerospace education, and as such, very technology focused which means our faculty are probably more open to tech solutions such as digital badging.
- We began planning our initial foray into digital badging in the fall of 2012 with a goal of institutionalizing a process for documenting faculty achievements related to their professional development in the areas of teaching and learning. Our goal was to make badging an ingrained part of faculty recognition. Prior to badges, I used to spend hours creating and distributing paper certificates to faculty who completed significant programs and projects. The truth is I don’t like to work any harder than I have to, so issuing a badge digitally is certainly more efficient than paper certificates. Further more, faculty who had received certificates often approached me later at promotion and tenure time asking for documentation of CTLE participation because they had misplaced the certificates I slaved away to create. Digital badges solve that problem. Not only that, but digital badges are more visible in two ways. The badges can be displayed by faculty on appropriate sights, and we display them on our website as well. In addition, CTLE got some visibility by adopting a more innovative way of recognizing achievements. Finally, and maybe most importantly, badging makes it possible to archive the artifacts from the various faculty development programs in a linked repository. Prior to badging deliverable files were often scattered across various computers, drives, and clouds. One way to institutionalize an initiative is to tie it to already institutionalized initiatives, and there are few initiatives in higher education than accreditation.

- 44 badges issued to 469 students and clicked on over 37K times We have badges for undergrads, grad students, faculty/staff, HS admission recruits, Alumini and MOOC global learniers
- We also wanted to spend just a moment on elaborating the case between why pair badges with ePortfolios. Why ePortfolios Need Digital Badges: If we want to keep the eP EKG pulse alive and connect employers to ePortfolios that communicate specific competencies…. digital badges provide the motivation and opportunity for the students to make their learning visible. Why Digital Badges Need ePortfolios: If digital badges are going to be evidence-based and transferable… the ePortfolio platform is best optimized to deliver that evidence and provide a logical space to showcase the badge
- five different Credly Open Badges across three edX MOOCs and issued them to 233 learners around the globe.
- (Robin) 4 week asynchronous online course to identify the importance of learner-centered instruction and the qualities of effective course design. Tokens through the LMS awarded for: - course progress - community - surprise Course completion and course facilitator badges awarded through Credly
