Let's look into who is involved in acquiring the Quality Label for Badge Recognition. The following actors have a role in the Quality Label process.
﻿
Quality Label recipients;
Quality Label issuers;
In some cases, Quality Label endorsers may be involved
﻿
﻿
Quality Label recipientsRecipients of the Quality Label are learning providers who issue digital Open Badges in any education, learning and training field. They are committed to upholding Quality Label standards in their badge-issu- ing activities. The Quality Label can be issued to any organisation or individual registered to a Cities of Learning or Awero platform with an Organiser account. The potential recipients of the Quality Label will be generally referred to as Organisers.
﻿
Quality Label issuersThe Cities of Learning Network is the sole official issuer of the Quality Label for Badge Recognition. Cities of Learning Network members have the necessary expertise and form a Quality Label evaluation committee, following specific assessment guidelines, to evaluate the applications received. The Quality Label committee is composed of members qualified in Open Badge recognition and, as detailed below, is responsible for making the final decisions on whether to issue each Quality Label.
﻿
Quality Label endorsersEndorsement is giving public approval and support for an Open Badge, an Activity or an Organiser. It shows trust, provides visibility and creates new opportunities.
﻿
Possible endorsers of the Quality Label can include diverse stakeholders, such as local, regional and national government institutions, public institutions, educational institutions (e.g. schools, universities, vocational training centres, etc.), employers and businesses, NGOs and networks of organisations working in the field of education, training, learning and employment, at national and international level.
﻿
Receiving an endorsement from key stakeholders is optional for the Cities of Learning Network. However, it may be helpful to have endorsers at the national and local levels to support badge recognition better, and any statements of support for the Quality Label by important stakeholders at all levels will be valuable to promote it and increase its visibility and trustworthiness.
