TEAM 2016 - Open Badges and Language LearningDon Presant
Presentation adapted for a professional ESL (EAL) audience, in Canada, with examples of Open Badges and ePortfolios for language learners and professional educators alike.
The Rocky Mountain Badge Alliance is building cross-sectoral skills networks with Open Badges. This presentation provides support and examples for this important initiative.
This document discusses using digital badges to assess students' development of digital literacy skills. It explains that digital badges provide evidence of skills earned through programs like a school's Digital Passport program. Badges contain metadata describing criteria, evidence of learning, and details. Open badges follow an interoperable standard and can represent a wide range of skills earned both in and out of school. The document advocates that digital badges can guide student learning, illustrate learning pathways, make skills more visible, and allow skills to transfer between contexts. It presents digital badges as having potential but still being in early stages of adoption in education.
Digital badges can recognize skills gained through non-formal learning environments like fabrication laboratories (Fab Labs). The presenter proposes a digital badge system for a Fab Lab to motivate learners and validate skills in technologies, collaboration, and other 21st century abilities. A prototype was developed recognizing skills like building a drone or 3D printer. Digital badges aim to improve training evaluation, link skills to market needs, and support lifelong learning. They may develop expertise in Quebec and contribute to open skills repositories for Fab Labs internationally. Future research could explore badges for organizations with Living Labs and Fab Labs, as well as using blockchain technology.
The document provides an overview of ePortfolios and how they can be used for academic advising. It discusses how ePortfolios can help address the skills gap by providing evidence of soft skills attainment. EPortfolios allow students to collect artifacts from both formal and informal learning experiences and provide tools for reflection and linking skills to frameworks. The document also discusses how ePortfolios can be used to recognize prior learning and facilitate credit transfer. Implementing ePortfolios requires addressing challenges such as interoperability and student ownership after graduation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

of employees’ existing skill sets.
Overall, social skills—such as
persuasion, emotional intelligence
and teaching others—will be in
higher demand across industries

“… high-quality learning pathways
that are affordable, scalable, and
tailored to a wide variety of current
and emergent industries, based on
competencies, not courses.”

11. Paper silos: Issues with certification today
freedesignfile.com/92259
Transparency issues
• “Dumb” paper often needs other
documents, e.g. syllabus
• Proxy only – not the whole story
• Easy to forge
Physical issues
• Difficult to share, easy to lose
Recognition issues
• Lack of granularity
• Lack of context - no links to supporting
evidence
• Experiential learning not valued
• Lack of alignment, transfer,
articulation, “stackability”
12. Clear progress markers
motivating learners, supporting advisors
Flexible learning pathways

Some Potential Participants...
Aligned to Standards
& Skills Frameworks
Technology enabled learning
Enable learners of the future
Most students already know that PSE is not the end of their education: continuous,; what they “know” is permanently beta
Premier’s HSWI: “Building the Workforce of Tomorrow”
Badging is not a solution is search of a problem. Ontario has a problem and needs to aim badging at it.
Minister: every PSE student in Ontario shall have a meaningful experiential learning opportunity before graduation. How do we do that?
Rethinking:
-the learning experience
-learning resources (OER)
-credentials (recognition).. makes Provosts gasp, but getting butts kicked by players like:
RED Academy (small pieces of learning that enable you to DO stuff – not that you took a course in swimming – can you swim?)
Rethinking Learning:
Address experiential learning desires of students
Provide real world experiences
Allow employers to audition students
Provide self-managed environments to support learning
WIL, co-op, practicums,… but mostly self-directed
T-shaped student: deep domain knowledge, but broad practical experience – how does that translate into a 3D CV?
If LinkedIn is where you put this stuff, how can institutions interoperate with that?
eCO is working to put in the infrastructure for a provincial badging system prototype. Also working with LinkedIn Learning, Riipen, other kinds of people working with interesting technology-enabled ideas
Final Q: what does the common infrastructure for experiential learning and validation of that learning look like in Canada and who needs to be involved?
What is the Learning Experience: A course or work integrated learning? A learning contract or a challenge of a competency? By yourself or with others?
Criteria: Learning objectives? Outcomes? Competencies? Domain-specific or transversal? Endorsed, or accredited?
Assessment: Psychometric exam? Portfolio of evidence? Skill Demonstration? Evaluation by rubric?
Recognition: Pathway marker only? Milestone? Certification? Endorsed? Does the evidence travel with it?
Transferability: Inside the organisation only? Bilateral agreements between organisations? Sectoral standards? Global frameworks?
Impact: “Learning outcomes analytics” Evidence for accreditation? Feedback? Social life and after-market value of the badge?
Quality: all the above
Experience: Course? Work experience? Learning contract? By yourself or with others?
Criteria: Learning objectives? Outcomes? Competencies? Domain-specific or transversal? Endorsement?
Assessment: Psychometric exam? Portfolio of evidence? Skill Demonstration? Evaluation by rubric?
Recognition: Pathway marker only? Milestone? Certification? Endorsement? Does the evidence travel with it?
Transferability: Internal only? Bilateral agreements? Sectoral standards?
