“After all, traditional college diplomas
look elegant when hung on the wall, but
they contain very little detail about what
the recipient learned.” (Young, 2012)

8. “The Web has blown documents apart. (…)
What once was literally a tightly bound
entity has been ripped into pieces and
thrown into the air.

9. REINVENTING (DIGITAL) CREDENTIALS
“Mozilla Open Badges are Web-enabled tokens of learning and accomplishment
Casilli & Hickey (2016)

Open Badges form a loose federation of many small digital credentials.

10. “ Mozilla Open Badges is an initiative exploring
alternative ways for learners to receive recognition
for skills and achievements gained outside of the
school environment, such as open credentialing
and accreditation for all types of learning, including
informal and interest driven.

Open Badges may be used to provide feedback on learning, outline
possible paths of progress and serve as artefacts for reflection

24. SKILLS DEMAND & OPEN BADGES
#ECTEL2016 | UNIVERSITY JEAN MOULIN LYON | 16-09-2016 | CC BY-SA
goal-setting
(e. g. by visualising which 21st
century skills matter, what criteria
need to be fulfilled for a particular
skill level)
identity-formation
(e. g. by warranting claims about
own 21st century skills as resources
and affirming or disaffirming these
claims by others)
reach of assessment
(e. g. by applying criteria from the
world of work and providing
multiple evidence in support of
claims of 21st century skills)
data transparency
(e. g. by making data about 21st
century skills available for learners,
educators, employers,
policy-makers)
Open Badges may be used to assess personal/individual skills but also to assess organisational/system
performance, e.g. education systems, workplace practices and policies in developing 21st century skills.

and creating
