OPEN EDUCATION & DIGITAL IDENTITIES

People live their lives and learn across multiple settings, and this holds true not only across the span of our lives but also across and within the institutions and communities they inhabit – even classrooms, for example. I take an approach that urges me to consider the significant overlap across these boundaries as people, tools, and practices travel through different and even contradictory contexts and activities. - Gutierrez

Many students already have confident social identities online, but developing identities as learners, writers, scholars, citizens — these are important tasks as part of higher education.- Catherine Cronin

MOZILLA’S OPEN BADGES

“Learning today happens everywhere. But it's often difficult to get recognition for skills and achievements that happen online or out of school. Mozilla Open Badges helps solve that problem, making it easy for any organisation to issue, manage and display digital badges across the web.”

Image: Mozilla Foundation

IF WE USE OPEN BADGES…

• Can facilitate informal and formal learning

• Can represent hard or soft skills• Can be issued by an institution, after-

school club, maker society, employer, a peer,….

• Can be built on for lifelong learning• Can transfer between contexts and life

stages

EVEN BETTER… DETECT PATHWAYS
