University of Belgrade, Serbia
● Introduction - concepts and perspectives● Pedagogical aspects of Open Badges● Technological aspects of Open Badges I –
badging platforms and tools● Interactive design of Open Badges● Designing and developing Open Badges I –
Open Badges for soft skills
Outline
● Community aspects of Open Badges I – enthusiasts and stakeholders
● Designing and developing Open Badge systems – the big picture
Adapted from: Devedzic, V., Jovanovic, J. (2015). Developing Open Badges: a comprehensive approach. Educational Technology Research and Development, 63(4), 603-620.
Includes identification and elaboration of:● the purpose/objectives of the OB system: what do we want to achieve with
OBs? why do we want to badge our course?
● types of achievements to badge - e.g., attendance, participation, effort, assessed performance
Goal setting and initial planning
Includes identification and elaboration of:● competences/skills to badge - including definition/selection of
competence/skill model to assure wide recognition of badged achievements
● options for integration of badges in the instructional design
Goal setting and initial planning (2)
Should be informed by the capabilities of the available technical solutions
No worth envisioning badge system design that ● cannot be supported by the available toolsets
● requires efforts and costs that go over the available budget
Goal setting and initial planning (3)
● Mapping out the skills/competences and the associated instructional design
● Defining the types of badges, and for each type, the number of badges to issue
● Designing individual badges, by defining
◦ association with the elements of instr. design (e.g., assessment items)
◦ badge earning criteria and the required type(s) of evidence
◦ badge visual appearance
Design of an OB system
● Defining badge dependencies and hierarchy (optional)
● Defining options for managing and sharing badges
Design of an OB system (2)
The major challenges: ● effective communication / demonstration of the value of OBs
● ensuring effective feedback loops
● ensuring teachers’ motivation
● ensuring the privacy of students’ data
Building / sustaining internal trust network
The major concerns: ● proper interpretation of the meaning of a badge - what does it actually say
about a person?
● aggregation and semantic alignment of learner’s badges that originate from different sources (i.e., badge issuers)
● seamless integration of badges with existing recognition and certification standards and practices
