Inspired assessment and learning technology The Badge Backpack • The RMA ethos: a Badge Backpack is a personal space - personal spaces are owned by the individual • RMA should allow users to specify their own Backpack system as part of their user profile, being Backpack- agnostic • RMA should allow pushing of badges to Backpacks while keeping a copy of all issued badges, just in-case Backpacking by Chantal Forster http://www.flickr.com/photos/fixwriter/2824113642/ ©2012 MyKnowledgeMap Ltd 7
- 8. Inspired assessment and learning technology Displaying badges • The MyShowcase extension within RMA isn’t a Badge Backpack but is still an ideal space to display and showcase badges. • RMA issued badges can be easily shown and shared. • A simple, low-cost badge display widget can provide showcasing of a whole Backpack within the RMA environment (https://github.com/mozilla/openbadges/ wiki/Displayer-API) Manchester United Trophy Cabinet by Steve Montgomery http://www.flickr.com/photos/scuba04/2528693153/ ©2012 MyKnowledgeMap Ltd 8
- 9. Inspired assessment and learning technology Wrap up & conclusions? • There are 3 key aspects of Open Badge implementation: creating badges, issuing badges and displaying badges • Supporting Open Badges doesn’t feel like a large investment, but has potentially big impact • A badge “display widget” could offer a low-cost way to leverage open badges (we’d approach this by creating a general purpose display plugin that could be shared across systems) • MyKnowledgeMap are open to invitations for pilots of Open Badges as part of ReallyManaging Assessment Photo by Matt Hobbs http://www.flickr.com/photos/ultrahi/2209625078/ ©2012 MyKnowledgeMap Ltd 9
