Open BadgesWhat people are saying about Open Badges
“It was nice to see a badges scheme in operation. I really did think that collecting badges incentivised my participation.”Participant, Jisc e-Assessment for Learning course
OU Symposium 09/06/2014 24
Open BadgesWhat people are saying about Open Badges“…while academic achievements can be evidenced by an…academic transcript, there is no such evidence of so-called soft skills – the personal attributes that enhance a graduate’s work ethic, job performance, interaction with work colleagues and, ultimately, their career prospects. I am convinced that Open Badges can …evidence the development of these personal attributes in a way that is recognisable to, and trusted by, employers.” Tom Caira, Chair of the Industrial Advisory Board (Computing). University of the West of Scotland
