What is a Digital Badge?"• Physical badges have always been pinned, sewn,
worn, ironed or displayed.• What if badges were digital? Bits, not atoms.• A digital badge is an electronic version of a physical
badge, but with more capabilities:• Transportable• Embedded with information• Infinitely sharable• Authenticatable
• An electronic symbol of something learned, earnedor achieved.

Embedded with Information"• Imagine if a badge could speak -- Who? What?
When? Where? How?• A digital badge can be linked to / embedded with
metadata that describes the badge to the viewer.
A badge can only be taken seriouslyif it backs up its claim with evidence.

Authenticatable
• Authentication addresses questions such as:• Did this issuer issue this badge to this user on this date?• Is this badge still valid? Has it expired?
• Authentication is:• Essential for badges for formal education
• Preferred for badges for informaleducation
• Optional for most other badges
• Authentication of badges• Adds another level of complexity to
the badge process• Is “on development roadmap” for Mozilla’s OBI

Why Badges?"• In a world of MOOCs,
independent study andwork-based training,learners want recognition

into LMSs, including Moodle, in late 2013.http://www.totaralms.com/feature-a-benefits/open-badges
Badges will soon emerge as a major opportunity
for digital entrepreneurs – especially entrepreneurial universities.

Challenges for Digital Badges"• Credibility: Actual skills or superficial activities?
• How does the badge ecosystem deal with “badgecollectors” who never actually learn anything?
• How does the badge ecosystem deal with issuers whoissue badges that don’t represent underlying skills?
• Reliability: An accurate representation of skills?• Verifiability: Links to: Determine issuer? When
earned? Still valid?• Security: A sound, universal system to detect /
prevent fraudulent badges.Source: “Open Badges: Portable Credentials for Learning” by Bill Brandon in Learning

Critical Success Factors for Badges"• The value and credibility of the badge depends on
the status of the issuer.
• There is a hierarchy of prestige in educational institutionsthat will translate directly into badge accreditation.
• Lower prestige schools will rush to badge accreditationand higher prestige schools probably will be laggards.
• The badge needs to carry with it the informationrequired to understand it and assess its value.
• The Mozilla Open Badges Infrastructure requiresmetadata to be attached to each badge to explain it.

Collegesand
universities
Other learningorganizations for
professional development,certification, ESL, etc.
Organizations with badge programsfor achievement, interests, peer/
mentor recognition, etc. in sports,hobbies, and informal learning.
Because of their premier reputations, badges fromhigher education institutionswill be the most highlyvalued in the digitalbadge world.

sity education.
But attention willrapidly move
here.

BadgeOpp: Credentials for Modular Learning"• Learners are seeking short, just-in-time, just-for-me
modules that fit an immediate learning need.• Modular learning requires reconsideration of course
structure and credentialing of learning.• A three-credit hour course becomes 4-6 modules.• Badges are provided at the completion of each module to
(a) recognise module achievement and(b) motivate continued learning.
• A proctored exam at the end offers high-margin profits.
What if it costs $100 to administer a proctored exam and the
learner paid $150. “That would be a huge positive for theconsumers of education, and it could pay the bills on the learningside.” • Salman Khan in MIT Technology Review

BadgeOpp: Recognize Prior Learning"• In a world of verifiable badges, colleges and
universities will adapt to accept badges fromcreditable sources for prior learning assessment.
• Quid pro quo – those who award badges must
accept badges from suitable issuing agents.• An authenticated transcript from a high school,community college or overseas university is morecreditable and more efficient to manage than apiece of paper.
