8. How to realize the automation process by
simultaneously maintaining simplicity in
managing and earning open badges in
MOOC platforms?

9. Why Badges?
• Hard to motivate learners to actively participate
in non-formal and informal educational systems if
they do not get any recognition for their
achievements
• Mostly no recognition at all for gained skills if a
course has not been completed (just summative
feedback)
• No common standard for acknowledgements
• Certificates are not digitially signed
