OBF Academyn webinar 15.2.2022.
Puhuja: Eric rousselle
Open Badge Factoryn uudessa Pro + Space (ympäristö) -palvelussa yhdistyvät Open Badge Factory sekä Open Badge Passportin uusi ominaisuus, jota kutsutaan ympäristöksi. Käytännössä ympäristö täydentää Open Badge Factoryä tarjoamalla organisaatioille dedikoituja passeja Open Badge Passportin sisällä. Ympäristö on monipuolinen palvelu. Se tukee rajatun yhteisön yhteistoimintaa ja tarjoaa myös henkilöstöhallinnon työkaluja, joilla voidaan asettaa osaamistavoitteita, seurata niiden etenemistä ja arvioida tavoitteiden toteutumista ja vaikutusta organisaation tasolla.
Open Badge Factoryn uuden Pro+ Space palvelun esittelyssä esitellään Pro+ Space palvelun ominaisuudet ja erityisesti Minimap -osaamismerkkipolkujen rakentaminen.
Aujourd’hui, les organisations et communautés peuvent avoir un rôle actif sur Open Badge Passport avec l’introduction d’un nouveau service : les “Espaces”.
A l’occasion de ce webinaire, vous pourrez découvrir le potentiel de ces espaces pour développer des stratégies d’accompagnement et de développement des compétences de vos publics.
L’Espace permet à une structure, un collectif ou un réseau d’avoir son propre passeport à l’intérieur d’Open Badge Passport ou d’un passeport dédié.
Avec les espaces, vous pouvez construire vos parcours apprenants (les minimaps). En modélisant vos parcours de badges ou demandes de badges (construit par son organisation ou partagés avec son écosystème), vous rendez lisibles vos parcours auprès de votre communauté. Vous pouvez également suivre leur progression au sein du parcours et cartographier en temps réel les compétences de votre organisation !
OBF Academy - Open Badge Passport au service d’un territoire apprenantOpen Badge Factory Ltd.
Le projet Activateur de Potentiels a pour objectif de caractériser des situations apprenantes réparties sur l’ensemble du territoire, qui permettent au public d’identifier des itinéraires possibles de développement de compétences.
Un enjeu important réside dans la possibilité pour les publics de visualiser des itinéraires possibles (objectifs, parcours, ressources). Un focus sur la nécessité de l’outillage, notamment à partir des espaces et de la fonctionnalité « Minimap » pour créer des parcours sera présentée au cours de ce webinaire.
L’orateur du webinaire est Eden Jean-Marie , Responsable R&D CIBC de Normandie.

OBF Academy webinar - Edupass: Une approche nationale des openbadges au Luxem...Open Badge Factory Ltd.
Avec l’introduction de la nouvelle matière « Digital Sciences » (Sciences numériques) dans les programmes du cycle inférieur de l’enseignement secondaire luxembourgeois, la question de l’utilisation d’un système d’évaluation alternatif s’est posée. L’évaluation transversale avec les Openbadges a rapidement été envisagée. Cependant, la question de son adaptation au système scolaire luxembourgeois était une tâche difficile.
Une solution nationale offrant une sécurité suffisante et la possibilité de se connecter à son portefeuille numérique personnel, à l’aide d’un système SSO protégé, a donc été mise en place : la plateforme Edupass. Cette nouvelle plateforme nationale offre la possibilité à ses élèves de recevoir, enregistrer et organiser leurs badges dans un environnement sécurisé, Edupass est un espace numérique ouvert à l’ensemble des écoles ainsi qu’aux différents autres partenaires tels que les musées et les institutions culturelles.
Claire Flammang, Professeure et Coordinatrice nationale « Digital Sciences » et Pierre Weissgerber, Professeur et Coordinateur national « eduPass.lu » Luxembourg, membres de SCRIPT (Ministère de l’Education Nationale de la Jeunesse et de l’Enfance, Luxembourg) vous présenteront ce projet fascinant.
OBF Academy webinar - Edupass: A national approach to open badges in LuxembourgOpen Badge Factory Ltd.
With the introduction of the new subject “Digital Sciences” in Luxembourg’s secondary schools, the question of using an alternative assessment system arose. The transversal assessment with open badges quickly came to mind. However, the question of adapting it to the Luxembourg school system was a difficult task. A national solution with sufficient security, and a possibility to log into your digital portfolio with the help of a protected SSO system, was therefore implemented. This new national platform serves as a digital home for various schools and their subjects and projects. The platform also serves a range of partners such as museums and cultural institutions.
Claire Flammang, Professor and National Coordinator of “Digital Sciences” and Pierre Weissgerber, Professor and National Coordinator of “eduPass.lu”, both members of SCRIPT (Ministère de l’Education Nationale de la Jeunesse et de l’Enfance, Luxembourg) will introduce this fascinating project.

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.

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.

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.

• Design a conversation of a subject
concerning climate. Use the “time
out” dialogue.
• In this task, we will learn how to
have a constructive dialogue.
• The exercise can be used as a
homework or as a pair or group
work.
34. Climate Badge No. 9 and
No. 10: Food Choises &
Food Actions
• At the end of Food, Transport and
Infrastructure themes there are badges
for
• brainstorming climate actions for your
school
• choosing a climate action for your school
and making a plan for it
• The badge No. 38: implementation of
climate action
• Other climate action plans are assembled
and available to use for everyone in
school

5. Conclusion
36. Climate Badges have
helped in:
• Recognizing our own strengths and
skills – our own route for carbon
neutrality!
• Finding the nearest community to do
climate action.
• Understanding the complexity and
scale of climate issues.
• Being un important part of wider
processes.
• Diversifying climate education to be
included in all school subjects.
• Understanding that climate-friendly
future can also bring us well-being.
37. Challenges
• Teachers and students have tested our Badges
well, but it’s not yet common to use them in job
or school applications.
• Upper secondary school students and teachers
are very busy and it’s hard to start with new
systems, like OBF. They prefer using just
exercises.
• These badges were first made to be used mostly
online (during 2020-2021), but now they need
adjusting to being used more in lessons.
• School communities need our help for organizing
workshops for them because they feel that they
don’t know enough about climate issues.
38. In summary:
While students, teachers
and school communities
make exercises and acquire
badges, at the same time
they repair their:
• Teaching
• Structures
• Management
• School culture

39. What’s next?
• Climate upper secondary schools are
now a part of the Learning Stream for
Sustainable Future
• Three main themes:
• Nature education
• Nature connectedness
• Empathy
• Circular economy education
• The next level of action
• Focus on reducing
• Climate education
• The power of community
• Realistic hope
40.
41. The Sustainable Future Learning Stream is
about hope and working together. It is moving
from a realistic picture of the situation towards
a desirable future.
42. • Perhaps in the future we’ll also
have Nature Badges and Circular
Economy Badges. And Badges for
teachers too...

climate hope in your school or organization?
Perhaps through climate badges?
