This document outlines plans to develop a digital badging system for metaliteracy at multiple institutions. Metaliteracy aims to advance critical thinking about online content and communities. The badging system will include quests and challenges aligned with metaliteracy learning objectives and be integrated into courses at 2-year, 4-year, distance learning, and research universities. Over 600 students are currently participating across 9 courses. Future plans include disciplinary badges, customizations for each institution, and integration into international student orientation. The badging platform will be WordPress with BadgeOS and Credly and content will include multimedia quests of increasing difficulty.

Editor's Notes
- Trudi: Skepticism about badges When many people hear the word “badge” they think of this, but it’s really become something so much more. Competency based education – libraries and info lit Badging fit with metaliteracy
- Trudi: Definition of metaliteracy: include mention of metacognition Used as framework for the badging system
- Trudi: Metaliteracy Learning Collaborative’s help with developing the LO
- Kelsey: Step 1: Constellations - continues to grow - The Metaliteracy learning objectives were used as the foundation for the design of the badging system, which includes four digital badges. Graphics designed by tech specialist at the library. Each badge is a title that students can claim once they have mastered a particular series of learning activities. Once earned students can display that achievement via Credly.
- Kelsey: Each of the four badges is broken down into a badge constellation based on the learning objectives. Good exercise for educators to map out overall goals and break them down into measurable learning competencies. Great scaffolding tool. Each step is a learning activity that was designed to meet that particular competency. (might try to create animation here – zooming out from badge to show breakdown)
- Kelsey: Students progress through four levels of learning activities: quests, challenges, content badges (animation: show one level at a time). Final level is a shareable badge. There is some flexibility with the path that they take. Activities start out more practical and basic, meet the students where they are. As they progress the activities become more reflective, metacognitive and synthesizing.
- Kelsey – two main design elements: writing content and building system Building a badge system is still very DIY, since this is a relatively new idea – no real template or established standards (getting closer with Badge OS and Mozilla Open Badges), good deal of web design and management involved. Credly works well if you are just issuing a standalone badge – badge design tool built in Challenges – protecting user data, technical glitches, troubleshooting with students
- Trudi: Challenging but fun to write. How to turn a learning objective into a fun interactive activity, beyond a tutorial. Importance of metacognition.
- Trudi: Challenge of designing so that it is relevant to a wide audience, but also meaningful to specific courses and research topics
- Trudi – relevance to a wide audience, but also meaningful to specific courses and research topics. Possible future implementations
