Editor's Notes
- Badges … Visual representations of achievements, learning, skills, competencies
- For a quick overview of what we presented last time, we start with the idea of symbols. Symbols are important in education and the workplace Designate mastery of topics/disciplines Designate master of specific skills.
- US Department of Education Viewpoint “Badges can help engage students in learning, and broaden the avenues for learners of all ages to acquire and demonstrate – as well as document and display – their skills,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in 2011. Duncan also linked badging to competency-based education, saying it “can help speed the shift from credentials that simply measure seat time, to ones that more accurately measure competency.”
- In education, symbols are used to represent what people learn and master. They can be certificates or degrees to show mastery of specific disciplines They can be awards or exclusive memberships in organizations The meaning is implied – the symbols themselves don’t necessarily mean anything
- They have become a tool….where we apply them and have given them meaning that they represent an assessment of performance
- Digital badges have become a way to symbolize learning that happens outside of traditional institutions for learning such as CCCS. They are visual representations and can mean whatever the issuer wants them to mean. This can be a problem for the receiver of the badge who tries to use them as evidence of learning because and employer or other organization will not necessarily know if the badge means anything more than the image. Problem of “carpet badging” vs truly documenting mastery of skills
- Two archetypes of Badges: Participation Badges and Skill Badges Both have value, but Skill badges have more transferable value Evidence criteria, WHO issued it Motivation? Value is an extrinsic motivator Badges are goals
- Examples of badges based on master of skills Certifications - New York City Department of Education Validation – Educause validating completion of IT trainings Commemorate – Smithsonian badges unique programs/activities
- Badges creates a series of credentials related to learning outcomes which are unique to the holder of the badge Value is the ability to stand out in a crowd
- Institutions and companies using Badges Purdue University Penn State University of Indiana Colorado State University-Fort Collins University of Denver Deloitte City of New York City of Chicago ACE and the US Military Samsung LearnDash Extreme Networks LinkedIn Khan Academy
- City of Chicago Badges
- CSU’s integrated sustainability management program: http://www.online.colostate.edu/badges/integrated-sustainability-management/curriculum.dot
- University of Indiana’s Badges for Educational Assessment: Practices, Principles, and Policies: http://www.indiana.edu/~booc/digital-badges/ Awarded in their BOOCs (big open online courses)
- Badge should be like an iceberg. The surface is what people see, but that surface should represent depth and substance underneath.
- One advantage to badges over a traditional college transcript or degree is that rather than having just implicit meaning, digital badges have EXPLICIT meaning If you are uncertain of the value of the badge you can find out the: Criteria Context AND the evidence of learning that has occurred So anyone who looks at that badge has the same information.
- Standards are emerging to make badges more relevant for the receiver of the badge and the employer who wants to know what specific skills a prospective employee has
- Demonstrating mastery can be shown through Assessments Portfolio of work Certifications Field work
- Two processes for developing and using badges Issuing badges Who is the audience? Accepting badges What do they represent?
- Clicking on the digital badge brings up this type of Meta Data display. Contains information on: Badge Name URL Description URL to Criteria for earning badge Date issued
- The criteria like takes you to what the assessment and/or criteria used to by the issuer of the badge to determine how someone earns the badge Quick way for a college (SME) to assess crosswalk for PLA Quick way for employer determine if badge represents needed skill
- Clicking on the URL from the Meta Data page takes you to a page displaying all of the badges offered by the issuer
- CCCS will have a similar page with the URL: badges.cccs.edu
- Badges help anyone standout from a crowd.
- Questions about badges?
