Soms creëren we onbedoeld barrières voor potentiële studenten door de manier waarop we het onderwijs organiseren. Met opkomende technologieën hebben we echter de mogelijkheid om in plaats daarvan bruggen te slaan naar nieuwe leermogelijkheden. Open microcredentials, of open badges, zijn een potentiële kans om zulke nieuwe bruggen voor het leren te creëren. Rick West, associate professor aan de Brigham Young University in Utah (VS), werkt sinds 2012 aan het concept van educatieve badges. In deze presentatie laat hij je zien hoe open badges voor studenten meer flexibiliteit mogelijk maken in hoe, wanneer, wat en waarom ze leren. Daarvan zal hij een aantal goede voorbeelden laten zien. Tijdens zijn sabbatical begin 2019 was hij in Nederland en bezocht hij de pilotprojecten van het SURF edubadges-project. In deze sessie deelt hij ook de inzichten die hij hier heeft opgedaan en geeft aanbevelingen mee aan de Nederlandse instellingen.
Presented in Winnipeg December 7, 2019: framing the need, describing open badges the solution, providing lots of examples and use cases, then describing CanCred Factory and Passport solutions and suggesting next steps.
MADLaT 2016 Open Badges - Making Learning Visible Don Presant
Open Badges are gaining acceptance as eCredentials by educators, professional bodies and employers around the world because they enable better ways to map, recognize and share learning, including informal learning. Quality Open Badges are trustable tokens of skills and achievements that can be shared in e-portfolios, talent pipelines and social media. Open Badges are modular and “stackable”: they can be linked together into flexible development pathways and can support Competency Based Education and learning transfer.
This fast-paced presentation lores global practices in Open Badge systems using living examples and case studies, inside and outside formal education.

A/Professor Jia-Lin Yang has made a distinctive contribution by creating and delivering a ‘scientist-based’, integrative professional, career and ePortfolio learning (IPCEL) curriculum for senior undergraduate cancer science (PATH3208) students. His interactive ePortfolio approach encourages students to think and act like a scientist and to develop the understanding and professional skills for a career in science, providing students with the confidence and capabilities needed ‘to be’ a scientist and leading to careers in science. He used self-efficacy assessment to evaluate and foster student authentic learning. The application of the interactive eportfolio has synergised student 'scientist-based' integrative professional and career development learning. The consequence of the IPCEL approach on students by the end of the course is a high proportion of them get into postgraduate research studies, of whom over half are female, because the students have been motivated as evident by high academic performance, high satisfaction and high self-efficacy.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Investigating Perceptions and Potential of Open Badges in Formal Higher Education
1. INVESTIGATING PERCEPTIONS AND
POTENTIAL OF OPEN BADGES IN
FORMAL HIGHER EDUCATION
Dr. Ian Glover, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
Farzana Latif, City University London, UK
2. WHAT IS A BADGE?
Visual representation of achievement, experience,
affiliation and/or interest - ideally distinctive and
understood within a community.
Some examples:
3. “Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they
mark a certain achievement and they are a
link between the rich and the poor.
For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout’s
arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at
once awakens an interest and
sympathy between them.”
- Juliette G. Low,
Founder of Girl Scouts of the USA
4.
5. WHAT IS AN OPEN BADGE?
o Many apps, websites and organisations issue badges,
but they are all separate
o Open Badges attempt to draw all these into one (free) place
o Include links to criteria and evidence
o Add security and verification
o can check whether a person was actually awarded a specific
badge
o Allow 'clusters' of badges to be shared with others
o Basically, an image + related data
7. WHY IS THERE A BUZZ ABOUT
THEM?
o Growing recognition that learning happens outside
the classroom
o Grade transcripts hide the truth about learning
o Strong links with current trends such as MOOCs,
Gamification, Mobile Learning
o but can be used independently of these
9. WHAT DID WE DO IN OUR
PROJECT?
o Semi-structured interviews with staff
o Whole institution
o Focus groups with students
o Health Sciences and Engineering
o None had prior knowledge of badges in HE
o but some were aware of other uses
o Intended to identify perception and value
o recommendation on whether to continue work
10. WHAT DID WE FIND?
o Students want to use badge to stand out from peers
o Desire to link badges to requirements of professional
accreditation
o Important not to issue too many - each badge must
represent genuine achievement
11. WHAT ELSE DID WE FIND?
o Badges would act as a motivator
o would push students to go beyond the minimum
o would support both individualistic and competitive goal
structures
o Students would use them when applying for jobs or
further study
o Helped to recall their development and the skills that they
had developed
o staff would use them when writing references
13. COMMON CRITICISMS
(AND HOW WE ADDRESSED THEM AFTERWARDS)
o "Childish"
o plan and design them to be meaningful
o "Hard to design without skills"
o simple, free tools available
o "Lack of consistency in use"
o set a policy about the requirements for a badge
14. SOME MORE CRITICISMS
o "Not credible with, for example, employers"
o involve employers in the design of badges
o "I get it, but my students/lecturers won't"
o didn't appear true through the interviews
o "This could become another assessment route"
o ideally it should reflect what is already happening
16. POTENTIAL USES
o Showing competency in a skill,
o e.g. nursing students taking blood samples
o Recognising extra-curricular activity
o e.g. a music student participating in an orchestra,
o Representing co-curricular development
o e.g. participation in Students' Union or Student Council
activities
17. MORE POTENTIAL USES
o Identifying common themes in a programme
o e.g. showing all modules that develop debating skills
o Validating informal learning
o e.g. certifying a specific standard has been met
o Enabling students to differentiate themselves
o e.g. highlighting specialisms within a programme
19. GETTING STARTED
o Image creation
o OpenBadges.me (http://openbadges.me)
o Online Badge Maker (http://www.onlinebadgemaker.com/)
o Badge creation and issuing
o badg.us (http://badg.us)
o All-in-one system
o Credly (http://credly.com)
20. STILL GETTING STARTED
o Educational platforms introducing badges
o Moodle (from 2.6)
o Blackboard (from latest Service Pack)
o Mahara
o PebblePad
o Wordpress
o etc.
o Central, common 'backpack'
