Toolkit http://learningelectronically.com/?p=226

Like many things, you never really realise just how much goes into creating a badge. From the outside, it looks just like a simple graphic – How hard can it be? Five minutes in Photoshop, maybe, if that! In fact, there’s so much more to it. Cosmetically, yes, it’s a graphic, but under it all, the metadata is what makes it tick – and to plan it, is a massive planning process:

Once you get into the planning process, considering the earners, the viewers, the endorsers and the issuers – it all starts to make a bit more sense. Yes – you’re forced to run

through all the planning in order to make a badge that works – but in doing this, you have something far more

valuable.

Moodle is the first widely-used platform to support badges. Teachers can now design and award their own badges for any users on their sites, using their own criteria. These badges are compatible with the Open Badges standard from Mozilla, and can be used outside Moodle as well.

Who endorses?

you need the Endorser of the badge to be a leading name/organisation/company in order for the badge to carry extra value – especially when you consider its transferability

also works for the private sector – no-one would have to repeat training undertaken for another organisation!!
