- #30: On Slide: Open Badges: the what, why how . The Why: Give people recognition for the skills and achievements they have 3D CV – cv is a bunch of claims but badges verify them Your students/researchers are more than their grades, or more than the final output of their research The How: Design the badge (offline) Choose the right issuing system Where can your badge recipients store their badges?
- #31: Design Process Focus on the highlighted areas If you can’t think of an example, use the Digital Skills Champion (staff or student). Thinking about your badge requirements How will you design the image? How will you issue them? Moodle, Credly, Wordpress, Open Badge Factory or Open Badge Academy… Will the process be automated? Does the earner apply for the badge? How resource intensive will the process be? Where will earners store them? Backpack, Open Badge Passport…
