Digital badges provide a way for individuals to display skills and competencies acquired through training or professional development. 38% of organizations currently use or plan to use digital badges, and 81% will maintain or increase their use. Digital badges capture competencies in different ways than traditional credentials by being easily understandable, ensuring quality, staying up to date, enabling comparisons, and being interconnected. They are increasingly being used in industries like manufacturing to connect employers to job seekers who have demonstrated certain competencies through badges.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Are easily understandable. All postsecondary credentials – from badges to degrees and beyond – should be based on competencies, making them easier to understand and use by students, employers, educators and workforce agencies.
Assure quality. Users must be able to rely on the quality of credentials, including their accuracy in representing the competencies possessed by a credential holder.
Up to date. Credentials should be continually updated and validated to ensure they stay relevant to employer needs.
Be interconnected. All students should understand how credentials connect and be able to see several pathways to increase career and economic mobility. Users also must be able to combine credentials to fit their needs and inform their education-career planning, including job transitions.
Enable comparisons. Stakeholders must be able to compare the value of various credentials and determine which credential best fits their needs.
Common uses for digital badges:
70% are used for professional development

Digital Badges are more complex than simply adding a picture image to your profile. Although the physical look and feel of the badge are very important, what makes up that badge meta data is what is most important and requires quite a bit of attention. This is not a simple process and will likely need to be revisited and refined over time.
When building a digital badge it is extremely important to make sure your course/curriculum is “badge worthy”. Making that first step of determining what ‘badge worthy’ means one of the most important. What is your purpose, what is the digital badge’s purpose?
From there an extensive course material and curriculum review may be required. Learning objectives need to be identified and aligned with any state/national/employer standards
If a student earns a badge for Microsoft Word, regardless of who teaches or when the class is taken – all students should be guaranteed the opportunity to learn the same objectives.
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.

An unfortunate set of circumstances
A K-12 system had a failed digital badge pilot in and a K-12 school system implement badges 2014-2015 wanting them to articulate up to the community colleges.
CCCS committed to developing a digital badge program that would allow us to address the learning needs of a broader audience, but this initiative was an unfunded in initiative. We had to think creatively about how to fund the resources needed to build a system wide digital badge program which interacted the 13 “separate but equal” colleges The pilot program was a non-credit professional development program that unbundled on-demand and competency based.
As a community we have agreed that digital badges should be:
Industry Driven
Community Centered
Learner Focused
Agree that every badge issued or accepted is tied to:
specific standards/or competency,
have a formal assessment or evaluation of competency
evidence of micro-learning.
Ecosystem of Digital Badges
Two processes for developing and using badges
Issuing badges
Who is the audience?
Accepting badges
What do they represent?
Technical Math has 23 badges, 6 Mastery and 17 Expert badges driven by our Advanced Manufacturing students didn’t know math, even though the students all took Math 108-Technical math. Digging deeper with business leaders was that students couldn’t perform math skills within an advanced manufacturing environment.
We created a Technical Math for Industry MOOC, contextualized math for advanced manufacturing with content, problems associated within the advanced manufacturing sector and assessments. We then digital badges each of the granular competencies. We found not only our CCCS students signing up for the free MOOC but manufacturers were sending their employees to reskills or upskill their employees in discrete math skills, earning the badges and using the badges within their companies to better utilized their workforce.
Machining badges were developed based on the National Institute of Metalworking Skills standards and backward designed into our existing Advanced Manufacturing programs. Students earn these badges by passing one or more of the 11 NIMS Machining Level 1 credential tests. The digital badge competencies were backward designed into one or more of our Ad. Manufacturing courses so students had multiple ways to earn the badge.
Engineering graphics badges were first designed with our 4 year partner Metropolitan State University within their BS in Engineering Technology department.
Competencies and badges were developed by MSU’s business advisory board in collaboration with MSU faculty. The badge competencies were then backwards designed into CCCS’ 2 year Engineering Graphics programs.
What resulted was 7 MSU badges and 3 MSU badges backward designed to CCCS programs and 6 unique CCCS engineering graphics digital badges for system use.
We are currently developing Faculty Development badges for blended and online learning to be deployed Aug. 1 and also a co-branded badge with CAEL, Council of Adult and Experiential Learning for badging faculty who have Mastered Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio evaluations.
Badges help anyone standout from a crowd.
Examples of badges based on mastery of skills
Certifications – industry or national
Validation –validating completion of IT trainings
Commemorate – Smithsonian badges unique programs/activities
Business and industry were not saying our programs didn’t fit their needs, but that it was difficulty to differentiate between workers, and what could people actually do on the job floor.
What it came down to was developing a credential (digital badges) which helped make skills transparent in a way a course, certificate or degree cannot.
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
Because digital badges enhance an employee’s traditional credentials, they are often referred to as “stackable credentials.” These stackable credentials particularly help as they demonstrate the employees’ competencies that that their employers value most.
Certifications are typically reported on a pass/fail basis, so there is little indication as to which skills they have mastered and which they have not. For example, a job seeker who just barely passed their phlebotomist certification may be perfectly competent to handle hazardous waste items, but have trouble handling sensitive patient information. This job seeker may pass the certification exam, but then become a liability to an employer.
