"Cultural localisation of open badges - insights from the German community”
Cultural localisation is the process of adapting the linguistic and cultural content of a design for a specific local culture. The aim of this talk is to explore cultural localisation of open badges from two perspectives. The first perspective is the cultural localisation of skills with the help of open badges. The second perspective is the cultural localisation of open badges as a system itself. My talk will include insights from a German qualification project for migrant academics, in which badges have been applied to enhance employability, as well as insights from the process of building an open badges community in German-speaking countries. My intention is to develop a framework for cultural localisation of open badges and I would like to discuss some considerations for such a framework.
Slides for a webinar delivered on invitation from the NordPlus project in October 2016. The presentation focused on findings from the Open Badge Network's discussion paper - Quality Management and Open Badges (O7A1). (The Open Badge Network is a pan-European, Erasmus+ funded project). It also featured a prototype for a Quality Canvas developed by Digitalme, to help organisations consider strategic reasons for engaging with Open Badges before launching an Open Badge initiative.
Digital badges have the potential to make learning more visible. They can work alongside, on top of and in front of our current career and accreditation ecosystems. They also have the capacity to connect these accreditation and recognition ecosystems and allow the [l]earner to narrate and curate their learning experiences and knowledge for a range of audiences, for any purpose and in a number of digital contexts.

Developing students’ employability skills through social mediaSue Beckingham
This session will demonstrate the importance of embedding the use of social media and technology within the curriculum to develop a range of graduate attributes and employability skills. Examples will be shared of how students can develop:
authentic learning experiences to develop confident digital communication and collaboration skills
ways to engage with employers through social media through professional social networking
students' digital capabilities (Jisc 2015) awareness of the importance of lifelong learning and becoming a digital lifewide learner (Beckingham 2015) employability skills which include social skills such as communication and teamwork which increasingly in the workplace is also taking place online.
It is important that the constant evolution of social media is understood (Beckingham, Purvis and Rodger 2015), and that students are given authentic learning experiences to allow them to learn how to use the affordances of these digital spaces in a professional context. Active listening and curation; online collaboration and communication; creativity and the ability to create digital resources using multimedia; and digital connectedness, are all skills that can be developed further through participation of digital activities set in the context of the students discipline. The ubiquitous use of mobile technology opens numerous opportunities for students to use their own devices for learning Nerantzi and Beckingham (2015).
Why is this important?
The annual survey produced by the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) considers employers' requirements for graduate skills and highlight the dissatisfaction that employers feel over graduates' preparedness for the workplace. Over half of businesses (55%) were not confident there will be enough people available in the future with the necessary skills to fill their high-skilled jobs (CBI 2015:6) and noted that "Businesses look first and foremost for graduates with the right attitudes and aptitudes to enable them to be effective in the workplace – nearly nine in ten employers (89%) value these above factors such as degree subject (62%)." (CBI 2015:56).
Key areas of concern in this report were communication and team working skills. In today's digital age these skills need to be demonstrated confidently both face to face and online. Increasingly the first contact an employer makes with a prospective candidate is online. Particular attention should therefore also be given to the development of a professional online presence.
Participants will also have the opportunity to share and discuss their own use of social media and technology to develop employability skills.

1. Samantha Slade November 15th, 2009 Toronto, Canada Recession, Recognition, Recruitment and Renewal The competency portfolio as a learning management tool
2. Before we begin a quick digital culture quiz 1. Do you communicate via email regularly? 2. Do you regularly turn to internet as your source for information? 3. Do you manage your documents, photos, music electronically? 4. Are you part of an online network? 5. Have you used electronic tools to comment or co-create text?
3. Do you agree? It offers us new potential to enrich and amplify existing processes. The digital world is an extension of how we function in the physical world enhancing + enabling what we do.
4. Therefore, it is normal that we turn to digital spaces and tools to help value, capture and communicate formal, non-formal, informal learning/competence development and recognition

17. I'm competent at... Thinking in terms of what you are competent at is very different than thinking in terms of diplomas, certification and training. Suddenly, it doesn't matter so much where or how a skill was developed, what is important is that you are indeed competent and that you see it, can express it and if need be demonstrate it or provide some proof of that competence to others. Reflecting on your competencies is not an easy task – but it is a rewarding one. The activities offered here should help you gather a better grasp of seeing who you are through the light of competencies. Plan 10-20 minutes to complete each activity Step I: Establish/value your experiences My work experience My education and training My life and community experience Step II: Reflect about your competencies My successes Demonstrating my competence Identifying my technical and generic competence Step III: Communicate and further develop your competencies My key competencies for my cv Focusing on developing a competence Competencies that interest me
18. Integrated representation of learning via diverse media Formal, non-formal, informal learning captured in one space helping develop an integrated view of self
19. Eportfolio is a process helping you to gather a more exact representation of yourself that can be showcased to others Invite friends, family, tutors, assesors into tailormade views. ..
