Developing a Digital Badge Roadmap
4 likes613 views
The document outlines a seven-step roadmap for developing a competency-based digital badge system, including identifying badge components, creating assessment strategies, and considering technology and graphic design. It emphasizes the importance of mapping badge meanings and relationships within the system to guide learner progression and highlight motivation through rewards. Additionally, the document shares lessons learned and resources for effective badging implementation in higher education.

- 3. 7 Steps to Badging 1. Identify badge components 2. Map meaning to each badge and to the overall badge system 3. Determine relationships within a badge system and how a learner may progress through the system 4. Design badge benefits, opportunities, and rewards into the system 5. Develop an assessment strategy 6. Technology considerations, i.e., sharing capability, participant badge system plans, technology, badging tools and platforms 7. Develop the graphic design of the badges
- 4. Constellation Design: Step 1 • Individual skill or knowledge development • Summative achievement • Progressive or milestone accomplishments • Other Image source: shutterstock
- 5. Map Meaning to Each Badge and to the Overall Badge System: Step 2 • The foundation of each badge is one of the course- program- ?-level competencies. • Next: determine what criteria one will need to meet to demonstrate competency and earn the associated digital badge.
- 6. Assessment Strategy: Step 3 • Review of a submission of evidence or an authentic artifact created during a learning experience or activity • Peer review of work • Verified participation at an event or in a learning program • Test, quiz, or other formal assessment
- 7. Relationships within and Progression through the Badge System Step 4
- 8. • The constellation should guide the learner, show the path • Determine how one component of your system relates to another • Several smaller achievements may be necessary before a more meaningful badge is awarded

- 12. Benefits, Opportunities, and Rewards: Step 5 • Motivation • Rewards • Opportunities • Extrinsic or intrinsic motivators • Communicating value in the metadata
- 13. Metadata Sample
- 15. Graphic Design: Step 7 • How should one balance the skills or competency represented by the badge with the granting institution’s brand? • If your badge system has multiple tracks or categories, how should those taxonomies be reflected in the design? • Will you display a logo on the badges? Does the logo need to integrate with the institutional, unit, or departmental brand? • Will the badge graphic include a year? • Will the badge color or art change from year to year?
