Editor's Notes
- Welcome – info session about badges, Open badges is a new technology to digitally recognise skills across the web.share some case studies and live examples and provide practical next steps & tools for anyone interested in exploring badges further
- Digitalme – new directions in learning. DigitalMe is a not for profit which creates learning programmes which support the development of young people’s 21st century skills through project based learning programmes which use social media Worked with a range of partners and most recently we have been focussing on developing comprehensive digital learning and rewards programme for children, teachers and parents using Open Badges. Worked with organisations, employers and schools to do this.Most recently we have been working on the new technology open badges to explore ways these can be used to recognise holistic skills and connect young people with opportunities
- Common problems facing us in education which everyone will be familiar with – how skills are recognised. Learning happens everywhere, in and out of schools. But it’s often siloed and disconnected.
- And employers are getting more vocal about skills they’re looking for, many teachers are frustrated too, they need a way to recognise all of students learning…Current assessment systems don’t recognise or test for a broad range of skills so no way of formally capturing this.
- We know from working with schools this this is something teachers want to develop too. But its difficult to capture a holistic view of a young person’s skills and achievements within current qualification system – too monolithic and focussed on assessing a ‘narrow’ range of skills. No space for granular skills development and personlised learning pathways.
- Difficult to articulate transferable skills in a way that can be understood by an employer. Often difficult to translate skills associated with a gcse to the skills an employer is looking for. Often achievements are certificate and paperbased which means they get lost or can be stolen.
- Not new, use them on blazers in school for example. Often represent roles or responsibilitiy, trust and credibility, extra curriculular achievements which tell us more about the person. However if we were to transfer them online a whole world of opportunity potenitially opens upThat’s where open badges come in…
- A new open standard for capturing skills across the webCreated by mozilla, non-profit who make firefoxDigital badges often platform specific. Open standard – data stays with that person for life
- An image, with data baked into it. Like a book and contents
- Kind of thing that’s baked in – who’s badge it is. What they did to get it. The evidence of their skills.Like a cake, can’t take it apart again which is why it cant be stolen or forged.
- This is what an employer/uni/college would see
- Granular makers of achievement. Mini-credentials. Can be interest driven and provide alternative pathways or augment existing pathways.
- Anyone can create a badgeAnyone can earn a badgeAnyone can award a badge
- Innovation – not about creating badges for existing qualifications. It’s about capturing the skills that currently fall down the gaps assessment wise. Can badges be used to encourage behviour, to motivate learning and to challenge?
- Check out open badges.org
- Badge issuers create badges – could be a school
- They can be displayed anywhere are across the web
- Question about value – the value chain needs to be strengthened by getting employers involved etc. However localised value can be more easily created in communities/schoolsObv if anyone can create a badge then how do you monitor etc.Badges can be endorsed by people.
- This is an example of how they look online
- And a group of people you’ll recognise have got together to create badges which start to recognise all the achievements of young people using Open Badges
- Provide some examples of how open badges can be used – we have created programs for in and out of school and supported other organisations to do the same
- DML competition
- S2R develops skills and confidence through sports reporting. Young people develop journalism, reading and writing skills, safe web publishing and promotion, before putting their skills to the test at a real sports event. Young people report improved confidence, collaboration, teamwork and leadership skills.
- In and out of school, across the world
- More experienced reporters unlock opporutnities at national events including the Olympics.
- Programme recognised by industry
- How does it work? Online channel, access tutorials and support, share reports and connect with experts and other reporters. Access national opportunities and activities.
- Great project, lots of traction – main challenge has always been no easy way to formally recognise skills within existing qualificationsOpen badges provide us with a way to reward these skills, especially the ‘softer’ workplace skills. Allows us to build value into the programme for teachers and pupils and provide motivation for young people to proactively gain skills outside of formalities of current education system. Peer assessment
- More complicated than it should be! 3 stages – learn, apply, teach
- Clear criteria – reference back to badge anatomy and value
- Program is interest driven. Certain requirements for each level.Some badges are automatic, some are teacher awardedProgramme can scale as introduce peersGold Bronze is highest badge and this is where young people are managing S2R NetworkUnlock opportunities along the way - motivation
- Journalist displayed in a table – low, mid high level skill. What do you need to achieve to move on?What other evidence is needed to show these skills have been achieved?
- This programme is now live – get involved
- Already use physical badges buy wanted to explore how online badges could work in recognising student voice using s2r medals
- Wanted to use it to recognise all of the skills young people earn through reporting for their school newspaper
- 15 young people earning badges – motivated. Some badges earned by stealth so got them interestedSome took on a mentor role as others saw their badges on their page, they helped others get their badges
- Badges can capture these skills
- Next steps – link badges to existing merit systems in school to recognise leadership skills. Venture academies are a network – can the badges be linked across the schools and somehow be endorsed by the academies supporters?
- Example of SDL – work with SSAT and selection of schools to develop a badge framework for SDL, supported by industry supporters like toshiba.Skills badges are going to be created by industry partners e.g. Toshiba’s self-maintenance badgeDoesnt always have to be at a national level but important to think about where the value is going to come from
- Still early days but there are a range of options open to schools interested in trying out badges. This is the process you will need to go throughAs with any technology, there are decisions which need to be made about platforms etc. As if you were choosing a tablet or somewhere to blog – same idea.
- We can help with design, creating value and framework, building in pathways via badge canvas
- Way to create a roadmap for your badges – sense check them and challenge the ideaTake one away – if you’re interested in accessing more support to use this contact us
