DESCRIPTION

This presentation provides an introduction to Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure and the opportunities an open, standards-based, digital credentialling system can provide. An insight into the Open Badges Discovery project will be provided and consideration given to how badge-based pathways to employment can be used to benefit people who are thinking about what their next step might be - be that education, training or employment.

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
