Awarding Organisations define and measure progress on long journeys - those that have a beginning, a middle, and (hopefully) an end. The value in this scenario is almost always at the end of the journey, with the qualification earned by the learner. In this keynote, we'll discuss a vision City & Guilds has for a 'messier' collection of short steps to paint a more personalised picture of the learner. We'll examine ways in which the Open Badges Infrastructure allows this to happen - particularly in light of v1.1!
