Open Badges - Executive Briefing at Red River College
This document discusses open badges and their potential role in recognizing skills. It begins by noting the need for better ways to recognize skills and challenges in traditional education approaches. Open badges are proposed as a flexible way to recognize modular, stackable learning from multiple sources. The rest of the document provides examples of open badges being used by organizations to recognize skills, map competencies, and create transparent records of learning. It also discusses the potential for open badge networks to connect educators, employers and learners.
