11. 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.

sharing of digital artefacts by an individual for a social
purpose such as learning, collaboration, identity expression
or community participation.‖

25. 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.‖

28. IF WE USE OPEN BADGES…
• Can facilitate informal and formal learning
• Can represent hard or soft skills
• Can be issued by an institution, afterschool club, maker society, employer, a
peer,….
• Can be built on for lifelong learning
• Can transfer between contexts and life
stages
