This webinar describes a pilot project at Montana Western to use open badges in an internship course. The goal was to use badges to structure assessment and provide recognition to students for 21st-century skills they demonstrated in their internships, which are unstructured but authentic learning experiences. Students were cast as co-authors of their own badges, gathering unique evidence in order to earn one or more of five 21st century skills micro-credentials. Join Dr Denise Holland, Dr Christian Gilde, and Justin Mason as they describe this pilot project.

- 18. Requirements • Pick two micro-credentials to complete • Provide the evidence
- 19. Results
- 20. Results • Students struggled to understand what micro-credentials were • They struggled with finding evidence • Struggled to connect the classroom theory to authentic context in the internship • For example, the operationalization chart • Students struggled to provide satisfactory evidence • Students did not submit all components for the badge – usually missing the narrative
- 21. Implications • Have the department add badges to core courses • Have the faculty assist students in their courses to locate evidence • Criteria or requirements that we are using, are items that the students have heard in their courses • For example, the design thinking model • Adjust the rubrics to be more open • collaborative rubric
