Recognition and Accreditation of Competencies in 2030: How Different?
I have always represented competency standards to myself as the maps of a professional territory: a good map should be able to tell you where you are (accreditation of prior learning), what are the possible paths for advancing or changing career (learning and career pathways). But competency maps are not static; they are like the maps of cities constantly reconfiguring, demolishing unused or out of norm facilities, building new roads, new buildings and generating new services. Digital city maps are now also able to display traffic jams, accidents, speed and police controls. To keep all this information updated in real time, digital technologies leverage collective intelligence. They use crowd sourcing. It is what Geographical information systems such as Waze™ (www.waze.com) do. With Waze™, the initial map data were originally collected from scratch by volunteers performing systematic ground surveys using a handheld GPS unit and a notebook, digital camera, or a voice recorder. The data were then entered into the OpenStreetMap database (www.openstreetmap.org). In 2030, competency standards will also use collective intelligence to keep competency maps up-to-date. Just like Waze™ was able to recreate road maps by collecting the GPS data from a crowd, we will be able to create competency maps by exploiting the information recorded in our ePortfolios. We will be able to establish the competency map of a city, a region or a country, thus providing the tools for the citizens, entrepreneurs and policy makers to make informed decisions, having on the one hand the map of all the worldwide competencies (and a visualisation of their dynamic transformation over time and place) and on the other hand the representation of the actual social capital of a given territory. Competency maps will also contribute to the construction of our professional identity. All this will be made possible when competency standards are used to tag every bit of information related to learning, events, documentation, employment, social inclusion, etc. The movement has already started. It is called Open Badges (www.openbadges.org). An Open Badge is a criteria- and evidence-based trust relationship between a badge issuer and a badge recipient. Criteria (or competency), evidence, issuer and recipient are represented in a set of metadata ‘baked’ into a picture, the actual visual representation of an Open Badge . Open Badges are already used to accrediting a wide range of learning outcomes from a simple skill to a full diploma. What makes them unique and powerful is their simplicity, the use of metadata, in particular competency standards, and their trustworthiness. Contrary to a CV that is purely declarative and not verifiable unless examining the original documents, Open Badges are verifiable online, by a person or even a machine.
