Breakthroughs in badging, moving beyond colorado community colleges' policies...cccschamp
Presentation for the Online Learning Consortium's Annual International Conference Orlando FL Oct. 2015 Badge initiatives are happening in higher education and beyond. Badges are being issued by businesses, associations, institutions and credentialing agencies certifying learner achievement. Colorado Community College System (CCCS) has entered into the badging movement slowly and deliberately.
NAWI 2014: Open Badges for Workforce Development: Findings from the DPD ProjectNate Otto
Open badges have the potential to transform education credentials, especially because they can recognize the development of individual competencies that go unmentioned in traditional degrees and transcripts. The Design Principles Documentation Project studied 30 learning initiatives as they implemented digital badges and identified general design principles used by these projects. See some of our findings about badges, case studies in workforce preparation, and questions about implications of badges for workforce development.
Open Badges for Training and Professional DevelopmentDon Presant

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.

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.

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.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

credentials in Higher Education and
Today’s Workplace
8. Credentialing
Marketplace
Many types of credentials
Fragmented, multi-layered, complex “system” that
doesn’t work well for employers, individuals or
educators
Highly diverse and
decentralized
Many actors:
schools, industry
groups,
occupational groups,
licensing boards,
accreditors, and more
Different:
• purposes
• quality assurance
mechanisms
• metrics for awarding
Difficult to understand
Public and employer policies struggle to
keep pace with new developments
The problem….
11. The Validity of a Badge
• OpenBadge Technical
Standards
• Meta Data Standard
– Identifies all the
associated credentials
and evidence of the

Can Badges equal jobs…..here
Demand for verified skills and credentials is on the rise. The publication eCampus News (Dec. 10, 2015) reported that currently 1 in 4 adults have an alternative credential of some sort, and those adults with digital certifications generally receive six times as many profile views on social media job sites such as LinkedIn. Additionally, eCampus observes that the availability of alternative credentials will double over the next five years with 400 institutions reportedly having competency-based digital badge programs in development, bringing the total to about 750 in five years. are some examples of how
We know that the range of students served by our educational system and the range of their needs for credentials is greater than ever.
Many of today’s postsecondary students no longer conform to a traditional profile of the newly minted high school graduate in pursuit o a 2/4 year degree.
Today’s marketplace for education credentials is highly fragmented ranging from badges and industry-based certifications to two- and four-year degrees and beyond. It’s a complex, multi-layered ecosystem that presents major challenges for students, employers, workers and policymakers. Individuals encounter too many dead ends as they work to gain the skills and credentials they need to advance. Employers have lost trust in credentials as they seek the skilled employees they need to compete globally. Policymakers at all levels are unsure about how to protect users and assure quality education and credentials in an increasingly diversified learning environment. In short, the credentialing world is confusing, at times even chaotic.
To enhance the utility of credentials and reduce costs borne by individuals and employers, we need a common language – a unified analytic framework that helps stakeholders compare the value and suitability of different types of credentials.
Connecting Credentials uses competencies – what the learner knows and is able to do – as common reference points to help understand and compare levels of knowledge, skills and abilities that underlie degrees, certificates, industry certifications, licenses, apprenticeships, badges and other credentials. Competencies are understood both in industry and academia and can be applied in multiple contexts, making them a powerful unifying way to examine credentials.
The Framework is intended to connect the dots among diverse credentials by using common language to describe what recipients of each credential should know and be able to do. This would help clarify the meaning of credentials, make them easier to compare, and make it possible to translate the learning gained from one credential toward securing another.
The anatomy of the micro-credential digital badge is the meta-data. The value is in the zeros and ones or Metadata.
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.
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
Examples of such management processes might include the development of clear definitions of competencies, mechanisms that test students and verify identity, processes that demonstrate evidence of skills attained, capacities for easy management of badges with interfaces that are easily viewable and storable, and systems that track digital badges earned.
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

Earlier this year, the Parchment Summit on Innovating Academic Credentials convened leaders from higher education, business, philanthropy and technology to explore the transformative potential of technology in extending the reach and meaning of academic credentials. Anthony P. Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce opened the day’s discussion by saying "Our current credentialing system is too fragmented. The many credentials out there—including certificates, licenses, college degrees, industry-based certifications, even apprenticeships—all have labor market value. We need a transparent and comprehensive system for tracking their economic value.”
Parchment Chief Executive Officer Matthew Pittinsky stated that “employers are asking for better insight into the discrete competencies and skills that make up today’s academic credentials (and that) around the country, colleges and universities are beginning to reimagine how we convey the experiences and learnings that make up the degree. By taking a new approach to academic credentials, students are able to better map those to new educational and job opportunities."
Two processes for developing and using badges
Issuing badges
Who is the audience?
Accepting badges
What do they represent?

Demand for verified skills and credentials is on the rise. The publication eCampus News (Dec. 10, 2015) reported that currently 1 in 4 adults have an alternative credential of some sort, and those adults with digital certifications generally receive six times as many profile views on social media job sites such as LinkedIn. Additionally, eCampus observes that the availability of alternative credentials will double over the next five years with 400 institutions reportedly having competency-based digital badge programs in development, bringing the total to about 750 in five years.
