Creating Badges
To learn how to design Quality Open Badges and Badge Systems we highly recommend completing this Learning Playlist. Each activity in this playlist is a small module bit to help you grasp the basics about Open badges, including how to create a single badge, and how to combine them into a larger badge system. Completing the playlist badge is one of the stepping stones toward your organisation achieving the Quality Label for Badge-based recognition.
Issuing Badges
The session was spent running the 'Issue Badges Simulation Game,to experience the practical reality of managing technology, assess evidence and give supportive feedback.
- Role swap: Everyone practiced being both the Issuer/Assessor and the Learner/Receiver during two fast-paced rounds to build a complete understanding of the issuing process.
- Three issuing methods: You actively tested the different methods for issuing badges: QR Code Issuance + Peer Check + Activity Organiser Check.
This day clearly showed that quality in badging is rooted in the initial design but is equally dependent on the operational flow. This brings us to the Quality Label for Badge Recognition Criteria, which must be considered when designing, issuing, assessing, and implementing badging within your organisation.
Next Up: Building the System
Tomorrow, Day 4: Badging in Practice, we will take all these individual badge experiences and build them into a cohesive structure.
