look elegant when hung on the wall, but
they contain very little detail about what
the recipient learned.” (Young, 2012)

14. SKILLS DEMAND & OPEN BADGES
goal-setting
(e. g. by visualising which 21st
century skills matter, what criteria
need to be fulfilled for a particular
skill level)
identity-formation
(e. g. by warranting claims about
own 21st century skills as resources
and affirming or disaffirming these
claims by others)
reach of assessment
(e. g. by applying criteria from the
world of work and providing
multiple evidence in support of
claims of 21st century skills)
data transparency
(e. g. by making data about 21st
century skills available for learners,
educators, employers,
policy-makers)
Open Badges may be used to assess personal/individual skills but also to assess organisational/system
performance, e.g. education systems, workplace practices and policies in developing 21st century skills.
