Editor's Notes
- An Open Badge is a digital reward Gives recognition of skills including soft skills - be difficult to document – good for evidencing skills to future employers Motivate people to participate & contribute (in a course, initiative, forum) Align to a standard developed by an international community Underpinned by the Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) developed by Mozilla Digital credentials earners can display online Earners store their badges in a badgepack. Earners can then choose to add their badges or groups of badges to online platforms (e.g. blogs, professional profiles etc).
- Jisc RSC Scotland have developed 3 series of Open Badges: Digital Practitioner Series – talk about in the next slide Digital Innovator Series – awarded for our iTech Case Study Contributors, Forum Contributors & Webinar Contributors Digital Leadership Series – awarded to those who engage with us on topics such as our awarded to those who engage with us on topics such as our Assessment Summit, Open Badges Design Days, OBSEG group
- Jisc RSC Scotland Online Courses – Learning Online (LOL) 3 courses currently available in the series: Online Communication & e-Tutoring eAssessment for Learning Digital Literacies for Digital Learning The LOL courses are 2 or 3 week fully-online courses delivered via Moodle. During the courses we build a community of learners and the courses are designed to encourage collaborative and peer learning. We award a Completer badges to those who successfully complete all activites on the course As an added incentive we also have a peer awarded ‘influencer’ badge to recognise those participants who have made a significant contribution to the course Feedback from these courses has been very positive – and the standard of contribution is extremely high
- Screenshot of OCeT Completer OB OB Criteria – link on the OB image would take people to the criteria page Information about the course What participants had to do to complete the course including the course matrices detailing criteria for successfully completing the Journal activity and forum activity
- LOL Open Badges – Influencer Badge Each LOL course includes the opportunity for a peer awarded Influencer Open Badge Voting rules At the end of the course, participants vote for peers they believe helped to influence the learning of themselves and / or the group as a whole. They are asked to consider, and to vote for any peers they believe have met, the following: Participant made a significant and constructive contribution to discussions Participant provided reflections and / or links and / or additional information pertinent to the course subject Participant enhanced the experience of the course for the group and / or myself through their contributions Participant demonstrated the principles of netiquette in their contributions to the course Anyone receiving 3+ votes from their peers, and successfully completing the course, will receive the Influencer badge
- Open Badges – Feedback from LOL participants Feedback on including open badges in our courses has been positive – quote from participant on the eAfL course. Have the option to gain an Open Badge does seem to motivate course participants and having the option of a peer awarded influencer badge does introduce an added incentive and the standard of contribution from participants in these courses is extremely high.
- Word Cloud Keen to expand the digital practitioner series as we recognised the potential open badges have: For encouraging engagement with Jisc RSC Scotland service For recongnising and rewarding CPD Motivating and encouraging participation Recongnising the contribution of peers Rewarding the sharing of good practice Demonstrate digital engagement and enhance digital identity
- Mapping a Digital Practitioner Open Badge Pathway Conversation at Open Badge Design Day when my former colleague Grainne and I had a chance to focus on our Digital Practitioner Series What influenced it? Training needs (ETNA) Standards (UKPSF, Prof Standards for FE Lecturers) Frameworks such as Mozilla Dig Lit Framework Resulted in our LOL courses We also started to think about synergies and possible pathways
- Expanding the pathway Mapping to existing CPD Provision As well as the online courses, we offer face-to-face workshops and a number of other virtual sessions.
- Current Digital Practitioner Pathway We have had various iterations of this diagram Our f2f workshops & virtual sessions feed into an aggregated badge – CPD: Technology for Learning LOL Completer badges feed into a LOL Super Completer badge Once both aggregated badges have been obtained then the Super Digital Practitioner Badge awarded
- Generic workshop badge Stating point & learning curve as we developed the badge criteria which resulted in developing information that is included in other workshops & virtual sessions badges Encompasses a range of workshops – topics explored include e-Assessment, Accessibility & Inclusion, Social Media, Learning Platforms & e-Resources Collaborative effort – brainstorming ideas really helped Additional benefit of the process was that it helped us identify core aspects that we wanted to ensure were included in each workshop such as Inclusive Practice, e-Safety & Copyright
- Evidence Templates We had decided early on that we didn’t want to award badges for attending CPD Instead we have devised ‘evidence templates’ which will need to be successful completed before badges are awarded Example of Workshop Completer Evidence Template Different templates developed for each badge Also developed template exemplars We’re also keen on sharing exemplars of good practice identified via the evidence templates with the sector so we’ve given people the option to agree to this
- Update information about our Open Badge Series – current thoughts of new website structure Needed to think through how we would display information about the new badges Where would people access the evidence templates & exemplars? Where do current open badges sit in this structure What else do we need? Badges Help section to include: Instructions for accepting your badge Instructions for displaying your badge This area still needs some development Linking to a shared collection in badges backpack Would be good to have be able to embed badges directly into webpages – there used to be a wordpress plugin but doesn’t work now Other useful info
- Considerations Badge design – we had an existing look and feel for the series so had to ensure our badges fitted with this – spent a bit of time ensuring this was the case – more things to consider that I thought there would have been! Consider why the badges are being awarded – in our case we didn’t want to award badges for workshop attendance but wanted participants to engage with workshop content and reflect on how this might be applied to their practice Development of evidence templates – considered various options for gathering evidence including online forms. Opted for word docs in the end as these can be saved – we thought online forms had a danger of people getting frustrated as data could be lost before they submitted the form Aggregated badges – 3 in this series – hopefully this will motivate people to engage in our CPD and they will want to work towards the Super Digital Practitioner badge Still need to update our issuing workflows – ensure the team know their responsibilities and have a clear process for issuing badges Still refining our information about the badge series – need to not overcomplicate things!
