Collaborative digital badges in MOOC 25/06/20
This document discusses the use of collaborative self-managed digital badges in MOOCs. It defines digital badges as validated representations of skills or accomplishments that can be earned. MOOC platforms currently have their own certification systems using digital badges. The document proposes a model for a MOOC that uses a community of experts to review evidence and issue badges collaboratively. This could automate the MOOC and add value through expert review, but would also face challenges around spam and reliance on expert knowledge and criteria.

Conclusions • Community ofexperts (review the evidences and issue the badge) • Added value from this experts • The MOOC is automated • Disadvantages: • Limitations: This is a project that is being implemented but has not yet been disseminated • It would be interesting to combine with forums like Stackoverflow (Gamified open Q&A forum model as a platform for a cMOOCs and Slides) with the collaborative badges in a totally self-managed MOOC. • Spam (forms and badge applications) • Depends on the expert’s criteria and their knowledge (-> CONSUMERS)

Editor's Notes
- #3 MOOCs are the natural evolution of OCWs and OERs, where a guide from a teaching team is added, the duration is limited to a specific period of time and the participant must register on a platform where it is increasingly common for him to have to pay either for the certificate or even to see the whole course. The student will only be able to register for the course on a certain date and if the course has already passed it is likely that he will not be able to see its contents. There are two teaching strategies or types of MOOC, on the one hand we have the xMOOC, those more constructivist with a structure more similar to a traditional online course. These are the most widespread and the course is always given within a platform such as Coursera, Edx or for Spanish speakers MiriadaX. In some cases, it is usual to complete it with some social network. On the other hand, there are the cMOOCs that are committed to a more collaborative design, in which the contents generated by the teachers take second place, based on learning theories such as connectivism, and on the generation of networks among the students, who usually share their personal blogs or social networks in which they publish content about the MOOC. This type of course is more distributed and complex to follow.
- #13 Decir que mantuvimos la filosofía de los MOOC, en concreto de los cMOOC, con una comunidad de aprendizaje asociada, la posibilidad de certificarse y todo sin depender de nadie de ningún profesor… Which, after completing its fourth edition in 2015, has been moved completely open to a blog on the WordPress platform in which the contents are as they are (https://blogs.upm.es/rsemooc/), both the videos and the texts
- #14 You don’t need to register to see the contents,
- #15 Recursos creados por los participantes c-MOOC - en redes sociales y recopilado a través de hashtags y enlaces directos a la comunidad, búsquedas
- #16 and questionnaires have been moved to Google Forms (eg: https://blogs.upm.es/rsemooc/cuestionario-de-autoevaluacion/).
- #17 users can certify their knowledge using Badgelist platform badges that experts (who have previously obtained a badge) give to new earners. To solve the problem of certification and that this does not depend on the teaching team, it was decided to create collaborative badges through the Badgelist platform, independent of the blog platform. To obtain the course badge, the user must join the badge and upload the compulsory MOOC activities to it (4 screenshots of each questionnaire completed by each of the modules and a final course activity in a text file) and request feedback. Any person who has previously obtained the badge can evaluate it positively or send a feedback in order to improve the evidence provided to the badge and award it when it has been done. After you have awarded the badge other badge awarders are able to add additional validations. In this way it will only be necessary for the teaching team to evaluate the first candidates for a badge, the rest is generated in a collaborative way.
- #24 I changed my position in other University, but it is a way that we consider interesting to use the badges in a collaborative strategy in massive courses, and we think is an interesting theoretical approach or model to use.
