E-LEARNING

• Alternative credentials
• Community building
Proposed Uses of Badges
A solution to a problem or still looking for one to solve?

16. e-Learning Development
What will change for content developers
Adopting Badges
Who chooses which badges are issued?
Hierarchy or community?
Who chooses which badges one can
earn? Pathways or Sandbox?
Who determines how the badges are
displayed within relevant communities?

17. The Good
• Shared community goals
• Recognised valued achievement
• Motivation for learning (intrinsic)
• Evidence of learning (incl. prior learning)
The Bad
• Gaming the system
• Increased expectation of extrinsic
reward
• As a souvenir
The ugly
• As a technology of power
• As a symbol of exclusivity
• As an act of cultural production
Guidelines
What to look out for when designing badges

18. Design Process
Building badge design into your processes
Badge creation - Who determines what
badges exists and what one can attempt
Badge attainment – how is this embedded
as part of the learning process
Badge value – how is value evolved in the
learner community and beyond
Badge display – how will our users share
their achievements and with whom
