Some may be advocates, while other are skeptics, but these days most educational practitioners are familiar with the concept of open badges. So you know how they are being used but do you want to learn how to create your own open badges? This practical slidehow, that is a preliminary teaser of a more comprehensive MOOC being developed by the Open Badge Network project, will fast track you through the open badge design process.

Quality Assurance Digital Education: Lessons from the Maltese ExperienceAnthony Fisher Camilleri
As in other sectors, digital education is rapidly deconstructing concepts which lie at the core of established educational systems and which form the bedrock of our quality assurance systems. In a digital world, how do we define a Higher Education Institution, how do we define a credential or even, how do we define a course? How do concepts such as formal and non-formal learning stand up to scrutiny? How do we establish jurisdiction for purposes of accreditation? Assuming we can define these concepts adequately, are current system of quality assurance fit for purpose? Is quality assurance merely a protective tool, or can it be used to stimulate and mainstream digital education?
The presentation will address all these questions from the perspective of a small EU member state and member of the EHEA, using the under-development Maltese digital accreditation system as a case study.

Réinventer le ePortfolio avec les Open Badges ? Les outils de la reconnaissanceSerge Ravet
Intervention lors du MoodleMoot / MaharaHui 2017 (28-30 juin). Présentation révisée (ordre + quelques diapos ajoutées sur le ePortfolio) à la suite d'une présentation faite 2 semaines plus tard aux responsables des technologies de l'éducation de la conférence des grandes écoles (CGE).

Reinventing the ePortfolio with Open BadgesSerge Ravet
How Open Badges and the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) could be the foundations for a new type of ePortfolio, the Open Passport allowing the creation of 'holographic identities' based on the establishment of bottom-up trust networks.
is the ePortfolio Guilty or not Guilty?
The Charges are as follows:
* ePortfolios have failed to be the Authentic Voice of the Empowered Learner and Citizen. They have not contributed to overcoming the Institutional and Social Demands for Compliance, if not Subservience.
The Power Asymmetry has not been reduced.
* ePortfolio Platforms have failed to produce any valuable technical Innovation over the last 10 years.
ePortfolio & Open Badges Maturity MatrixSerge Ravet
The Europortfolio team presented on July 2 2014 the "ePortfolios and Open Badges Maturity Matrix". The objective was to collect feedback from practitioners and experts on a document that is aimed at helping organisations to plan and reflect on current developments and lay the foundations for the development of a review tool (self-assessment) that will be used to plan, monitor and review ePortfolios and Open Badges policies, technologies and practices.
What was presented is an alpha version (draft) of the Matrix and we are looking forward to the feedback of the community to produce a beta version that will be used to build the self-assessment tool. Based on the outcomes of the self-assessment tool's exploitation, a final version of the Matrix will be produced.
If you want to start contributing, the maturity matrix is accessible at:

How could Open Badges Transform ePortfolio Practices and Technologies! Serge Ravet
Looking at the history of ePortfolio practice and technologies over the last 10 years, one is entitled in asking: what has changed? Is the ePortfolio technology we have today that different from what we had 10 years ago? While there is certainly a wider spread of ePortfolios, have ePortfolios transformed practice or been assimilated by institutions?
Open Badges are the opportunity to reinvent ePortfolio technology and practice, and create the conditions for an effective shift of the locus of power from institutions to individuals and communities. Shall we be able to seize this opportunity?
ePortfolios & Open Badges to the Service of Learning QualitySerge Ravet
A presentation at a seminar organised by FIED (Fédération Interuniversitaire de l'Education à Distance) on quality in education where I present the concept of eQuality and explore how Open Badges and ePortfolios can contribute to the continuous improvement of individual and organisational learning.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The aim of MIRVA, is to study the conditions of an Informal Recognition environment
through the exploration of:
• The potential benefits of Open Endorsement as proposed by the Open
Badge 2.0 specification;
• The conditions (technical, educational, political, etc.) for the successful
implementation of Open Endorsement;
• The services that could emerge from the information generated through Open
Endorsement;
• The mitigation of the risks of poor endorsements practices (e.g. LinkedIn!);
• The conditions for creation of an effective continuum between informal and formal
recognition;
