Visual representation of achievement, experience, affiliation
and/or interest - ideally distinctive and understood within a
community.

JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
What is a badge?
Visual representation of achievement, experience, affiliation
and/or interest - ideally distinctive and understood within a
community.

Some examples:

JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
“Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a
certain achievement and they are a link between
the rich and the poor.
For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout’s arm, if
that girl has won the same badge, it at once

awakens an interest and sympathy between
them.”
- Juliette G. Low,
Founder of Girl Scouts of the USA
JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
Why 'Open' badges?

•

Badges increasingly being used to encourage continued
'brand engagement' online
– e.g. Four Square, Quidco,

•

Also used to represent achievement within a domain
– e.g games (XBox, Playstation, Steam [PC])

•

However, all separate

•

'Open Badges' allows badges from multiple sources to be
gathered together
JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
Why the buzz about Open Badges for
Education?

•

Growing recognition that lots of learning happens outside
the classroom

•

Grade transcripts hide the 'truth' about learning

•

Strong links with current trends such as MOOCs,
Gamification, Mobile Learning
– but can be used independently of these

•

Significant motivational potential in some situations
JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
"What's my motivation?"

•

Intrinsic Motivation
- Personal
- Strong

• Extrinsic Motivation
- External factors
- Weak (usually)

• Mixed motivations
common
- e.g. interested in the topic,
but also want to gain
recognition from peers.
JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
Research conducted at City University London

•

Aim to identify perceptions and possible
value of Open Badges

•

Semi-structured interviews with staff
–

Whole institution

• Focus groups with students
–

•

Health Sciences and Engineering

None had prior knowledge of badges in
HE
–

but some were aware of other uses
JISC RSC Online Conference 2013 (#RSCOnline13) - 5th December 2013
Findings related to student motivation

•

Badges would act as a motivator
–
–

•

would push students to go beyond the minimum
would support both individual and competitive goals

Why?
– To stand out when apply for jobs
– To help students monitor their progress
• personal and relative to peers
– To recognise effort in formative tasks

•

But, important not to issue too many
– each badge must represent a genuine achievement

•

Other findings in research paper
Open Badges at Sheffield Hallam University

•

Current and completed uses
– International students' engagement in cultural / orientation
activities
– Course representatives
– Reflective Practice module

• Planned / proposed uses
