What if we used badges for learning?

Not just digital badges but Open Badges

Visual representations of achievements, learning, skills,

interests, competencies

Open Badges can complement traditional

education practices

They can accommodate formal & informal learning pathways

They can represent hard & soft skills, peer assessment, and stackable lifelong learning

Open Badges can capture learning wherever & however it occurs—allowing for innovation

Open Badges? (What about degrees, certificates, diplomas?)

Not simply either/or— both/and!

Questions ? Open Discussion.

How do we get there?

Through a shared badge ecosystem & infrastructure:

a universal standard.
