Digital badges are a great way to communicate the skills and competencies that learners attain regardless of where they are in their learning or career journey. They can be unique, branded, creative, and highly contextual; all things that when done well are crucial to achieving the end goal of making skills more visible and closing the opportunity gap.

BECOMING A PARTNER TO THE BUSINESS: HOW BEACHBODY BUILT THE BUSINESS CASE FOR...Human Capital Media
We know learning happens across different systems and devices, between people, and in the real world. We also know weaving it all together into a seamless learning experience takes some work: new system functionality with L&D, HR and IT teams working together.
As L&D leaders, how can we effectively convince and then work with other business leads to overcome organizational challenges?
The good news is the financial support is there: 70% of CHROs are investing in technologies to help them move faster (PWC Technology Survey in 2017).
The even better news is Beachbody has been successful in partnering L&D to the business and they will be on our May webinar to show just how they did it.
It is easy for any organization, large or small, to get in the habit of just piling information onto their employees and not really paying attention to the method in which this training is delivered. Any successful learning system must have the goal of behavioral change at the heart of it. This session will cover why traditional e-learning is on the way out, and the benefits of putting the engagement formula into action. Apply your new-found knowledge of e-learning to your everyday work-life, helping your organization and individuals alike to unleash their inner superheroes!
Technology is a growing industry and it is shifting every aspect of our society. Now more than ever, this industry requires a workforce that is fully diverse and inclusive across all its functions. Findings reveal that there is far less students enrolling in STEM disciplines than required by the labor market and the numbers are even lower for students from underrepresented communities. Our goal is to increase the rate of enrolment in STEM disciplines by engaging girls from minority groups who drop out of STEM courses because they see it as too hard or irrelevant for their careers.
Is your company faced with the challenge of becoming more agile in a rapidly changing and highly dynamic business environment?
In this presentation, Chuck Cobb, the author of The Project Manager's Guide to Mastering Agile, guides us on how to develop a training program that provides the right blend of Agile and traditional plan-driven project management principles and practices to fit your business.
Chuck Cobb has more than 20 years of project management experience in a broad range of industries, and is the author of five books on Agile Project Management and Business Excellence.

How Xerox Services is Driving Learning Culture with New L&D TechnologiesDavid Blake
Bersin by Deloitte research suggests that the single biggest driver of business impact tends to be the strength of an organization’s learning culture. But most of today’s workers are increasingly overwhelmed, distracted and impatient. They’re also now empowered to direct more and more of their development, often using outside resources. As a result, building a culture of continuous, everyday learning is a growing challenge for many L&D teams. New tools and emerging technologies can help, but building and sustaining an effective learning culture also demands that L&D professionals embrace new ways of thinking and working.
In this presentation you will learn:
-What learners can teach L&D professionals about learning
-What types of technologies can enable continuous learning
-How Xerox Services University is leveraging a culture of continuous experimentation to build a habit of everyday learning

• How MOOCs have (and haven't) evolved to meet the needs of enterprise L&D; and
• Critical lessons learned by leading organizations already using MOOCs.

BLC13 Presentation - Student Digital Leadersglynbarritt
Presentation given as part of the CUE Tips schedule at BLC13, describing who Student Digital Leaders are and how SSAT working with DigitalMe and Mozilla are designing an accreditation scheme based on Open Badge software.
STEM Premier is a cradle-to-career online solution that assists students in designing a career pathway, educators in recruiting top talent to their schools and employers in
developing a stable, continuous talent pipeline.
We’re the first online platform for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) that allows students to showcase their academic & technical STEM skills andconnect with organizations looking for them.
Toward Student Engagement and Recognition: Developing a Digital Badge Roadmap EDUCAUSE
Higher education institutions are experimenting with the use of digital badges to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Digital badging, accompanied with interactive learning designs, provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. In this presentation, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses and programs. The presentation reviews all the components of a badging initiative, but will have participants identify badge components, sketch out their badge constellation, and develop an assessment strategy within the context of a course.
Innovative higher education institutions are partnering with employers to ensure learners have the skills-- and, just as importantly, the credentials-- to thrive in a rapidly evolving workplace. This 60-minute webinar will explore how institutions can partner with employers to identify the discrete skills that already exist within their programs, and are critically important to employers. You’ll hear perspectives from an expert panel and participate in an interactive question and answer session.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

"WCET Leadership Summit: 21st Century Credentials: Learners + Institutions + Workforce" by Cali Morrison, WICHE
Cooperative for Educational Technologies is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0
11. Colorado Community College System
Badge Program
• CCCS is in year 4 of Credly Adoption.
• Interested in documenting skills, abilities and
competencies not recognized in traditional transcripted
courses, certificates and degrees.
• Began with Technical Math for Industry, then rolled out
Advanced Manufacturing Machining, Engineering
Graphics, Faculty and Staff development and
Healthcare.
12. Emporia State University
Badge Program
•ESU is 2-3 years into Credly adoption.
•Interested in CBL and accomplishments not
otherwise captured in a transcript.
•Began with co-curricular implementation,
slowly introduced curricular implementation.
17. #WorkforceRelevant
What we discovered
•General lack of knowledge/awareness
regarding alternative credentials.
•Some faculty resisted their issuance.
•Faculty actually found the most utility in
increasing employer/college department ties
including use in their business advisory
committees.
Colorado Community College System
18. #WorkforceRelevant
What we discovered
•Some students didn’t take them seriously.
•Faculty actually found the most utility, using
their badge for professional development.
•Most students don’t use LinkedIn – a primary
vehicle for microcredentials.
Emporia State University
19. Question:
What’s next for your badge
program and where do you
think digital badges are
headed?
#WorkforceRelevant
20. Where we think our badge program is going:
• With the unbundled student entering into the HE
space, digital badges help accelerate the students
credential attainment, allow for multiple entry and exits
from a life-long and life-wide learning/career pathway.
• Public/private partnerships, especially in the corporate
training side of the house.
• Empowering earners and employers to be more
specific of on the job skills, abilities, and competencies
needed to perform on the job.
Colorado Community College System
#WorkforceRelevant
21. Where we think our badge program is going:
•Once CBL and microlearning becomes more
mainstream, these types of alternative
credentials will become more accepted and
recognized.
•Public/private partnerships.
•Enhanced job placement activities.
Emporia State University
#WorkforceRelevant
22. Question:
What advice or lessons learned
can you share with others
starting or expanding their own
digital credentialing initiatives?
#WorkforceRelevant
23. Lessons Learned
• If just starting, identify a campus champion who can successfully
implement a pilot program.
• Ensure that you have at least one top administrator as a badge
champion and at least one employer who is willing to accept digital
badge in identifying applicants.
• Make them rigorous, but applicable to specific industry or workforce skills
needed.
• Control the branding and image carefully, especially in a multi-college or
campus situation.
• Expand your ecosystem by presenting to employers, workforce
development boards, associations, city councils, county councils,
economic development boards, k-12 systems, 2 or 4-year feeder
schools.
• Encourage the use of micro credentials in annual performance reviews
and student advising sessions.
Colorado Community College System
#WorkforceRelevant
24. #WorkforceRelevant
Lessons Learned
• Control who is authorized to administer and award
badges. Begin with training programs
• Develop a criteria/standards template for the campus.
• Control the volume of microcredential awards (eg,
guard against ‘badge fatigue’)
• Promote successful examples. Units that dropped
lacked understanding of translation to student
success.
• Attach microcredentials to job placement.

Editor's Notes
Patricia:
Welcome to today’s webinar. Thank you for joining us and taking a moment to complete the poll questions as you enter the meeting space. There are three questions to answer
Before we get things started we wanted to take care of a few things (house keeping)
I’d like to introduce our Panelists today: Brenda Perea (title) and Rob Gibson (title) and our facilitator Hope Candell (title)
A quick run through of the session agenda. We’ll start with a quick snapshot of where things stand with digital badges today, then we’ll dive into the discussion with Brenda and Rob and learn more about the digital badge programs at both Colorado Community College System and Emporia State University, and finally we’ll take some questions from the audience.
If you want to follow along with the conversation on twitter, use the hashtag Workforce Relevant Before I turn things over to Hope we just wanted to take a moment and thank Canvas for inviting us to their Partner Day. Glad to share and be a part of the learning!
The real language they are all moving towards is that of “verified competencies” – which many of us call “Credentials”.
Credly provides the platform that enables organization to issue, manage and use digital credentials – Enabling all players in the labor market to use a common currency.
Increase Equity & Access:
Measure students learning wherever it happens – on the job; in a classroom; through an online training program; through credits for prior learning. We are moving away from a degree- and pedigree-based system to a system of competencies. Everyone has competencies, and with digital credentials, they can be recognized and discovered. Further, digital credentials empower the earner by giving them the vocabulary to advocate on their own behalf.
Reduce Student Debt:
¾ fallacy – the all-or-nothing proposition of today’s higher education system: You can complete ¾ of the course work, take on ¾ (at least!) of the debt, gain ¾ of the relevant knowledge and skills, but if you don’t graduate because life happens to you, then you get 0% of the value (or worse, you’re tagged with the scarlet letter of “dropout”).
Demonstrate ROI:
The transparency of digital credentials means that education institutions need to be more explicit about what is being taught (description), how it’s being assessed (criteria) and what third parties endorse or accept the training (endorsements). The data associated with digital credentials means we can track outcomes.
Make Education Records Interoperable:
The digital, transparent nature of these credentials facilitates articulation and fosters processes to establish minimum standards. As endorsements come into play and the ROI is trackable, a true market evolves for quality training and standard definitions. This need not be a top-down process: the transparency does the work.
We hear a lot about the skills gap (stats about the gap)
Another issue is the communications gap – digital badges make skills more visible, verifiable, and evidence based
Our partner Wonderlic completed a survey and they discovered 60% of employers agreed that they would be more inclined to interview graduates that had job specific skills badges on their resumes and 86.6% agreed that local educators should provide their students with job specific badges that VERIFY Skills.
This all seems very straight forward. However, for HE these simple requests take time, manpower and a paradigm shift from “business as usual”
When HE starts to engage employers in the education to workforce pathway, they begin to connect skills to opportunity. Badge earners are empowered to show what they can do through a digital badge, employers can know what badge earners can do whether they are applicants or existing employees.
Industry driven digital badges provide a powerful and employer-friendly complement to grades and other information traditionally found on a college transcript.
Students have the advantage of seeing a clear pathway of progression which will help them gain employment and reskill and upskill as the workforce needs change and evolve giving them the opportunity to work and advance in their chosen pathway.
