Slides for a webinar delivered on invitation from the NordPlus project in October 2016. The presentation focused on findings from the Open Badge Network's discussion paper - Quality Management and Open Badges (O7A1). (The Open Badge Network is a pan-European, Erasmus+ funded project). It also featured a prototype for a Quality Canvas developed by Digitalme, to help organisations consider strategic reasons for engaging with Open Badges before launching an Open Badge initiative.

- 15. www.openbadgenetwork.com/ The Open Badge Network discussion paper took the following format: 1. A survey on quality informed the paper. 39 complete responses 2. Persona based approach - issuer, earner, viewer 3. Findings presented in relation to the different stages of an Open Badge initiative: initial design; implementation; delivery and review. 4. A Quality Canvas is being created and will have a similar structure to the Digitalme Badge Design Canvas but allow users to explore high level quality considerations of their Open Badge initiatives Quality Management in Open Badges O7A1 Quality has an objective and a subjective dimension
- 16. Findings - Initial Design To support a clear foundation for your badge initiative: •Be clear about your long term goal for badges •Understand what opportunities you want to enable through the badge ecosystem, for yourself, your badge earners and the viewers of your awarded badges •Align your badge goal to the opportunities you want to enable and your desired strategic outcomes for badges •Once you are clear on the above, consider how you will implement these, bearing in mind quality considerations for implementation. www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 17. • Be clear about the intended audiences for your badge • Develop a role-based value proposition - be clear about why those engaging with your badge would want to earn, issue or view it • Ensure your intended earners know the intended issuing organisation (this may not be the same as the badge creators) • Develop networks around your badge scheme • Open Badge Network’s resource, Guidelines for Badges in Territories (O4A3) • Ensure the type of evidence earners must provide is appropriate for what you want to assess, that badge content is well presented and that the badge will show the recipient has learned something. Aim to indicate the level of the badge and if it aligns with a competency framework • Open Badge Network Competency Repository is available under Infrastructure outputs (O2A3) • Put quality assurance processes in place around the creation, assessing, awarding and management of your badges Findings - Implementation www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 18. • Select a delivery platform that includes elements you need. These might include: • The ability for earners to upload and store evidence in the system (reducing the chance of broken links to evidence) • The ability to create, issue and track badges in the same system • Earner verification • Select a delivery platform that includes the elements badge earners and viewers want, e.g.: • Issuer and earner verification • Enabling earners to search for and find badges • Enabling earners to view the badge evidence of others (so that they can understand what is required of them for the badge task and to benchmark and improve their own work) • The ability for earners to set the visibility of their badges and share them to social media and professional profiles • The ability to leave endorsements on badge evidence • Ability for the badge earner to communicate with the person they are earning the badge from Findings - Delivery www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 19. Based on survey findings, Issuers want: 1. To be able to choose an evidence type that is relevant to the context, such as asking earners to submit a reflective piece or demonstrate their applied skills via a video etc 2. To have quality assurance processes in place 3. To develop badges as part of a wider badge scheme 4. To use a badge issuing system that enables earners to upload and store their evidence in the system (thereby reducing the chance of broken links with evidence held in 3rd party systems) Role based quality considerations - Issuer www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 20. Based on survey findings, Earners want: 1. The badge issuer to be a well established organisation (Developing networks around badge schemes might help in this regard) 2. To be able to benchmark their work against others' work in order to improve their badge evidence 3. A system for earning badges that allows them to search for and find badges 4. A system for displaying badges that allows them to set the visibility of their badges, e.g. hide or show them 5. A system for displaying badges that allows them to share their badges to social media and professional profiles such as LinkedIn Role based quality considerations - Earner www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 21. The viewer stated they would trust a badge if: 1. They were aware of the badge quality assurance procedures implemented by the issuer and believed them to be sound 2. The badge earner had received endorsements on their evidence from people working or teaching in that field 3. They could quickly ascertain the level of competency the badge indicated They believed: 4. Badges should be aligned to competency frameworks 5. Badges should map to a particular framework (When asked to state which competency framework, they didn’t specify a particular framework but responded “It would help me as a viewer to understand the value of a badge.”) Role based quality considerations - Viewer www.openbadgenetwork.com/
- 22. ‹#› What do we do? Drivers: what are the challenges or opportunities you want to address? (E.g. to give recognition for non-formal learning; building talent pipeline; differentiating candidates…) “ ”

- 30. www.openbadgenetwork.com/ Welcome to the Open Badge Network The Open Badge Network (OBN) is an Erasmus + project which brings together organisations from across Europe to support the development of an Open Badge ecosystem, promoting the use of Open Badges to recognise non-formal and informal learning. Open Badges is an open standard that allows all skills and achievements to be recognised and shared across the web. Schools, universities, employers and informal learning providers globally are using open badges to capture life long learning which is currently unrecognised. This project aims to provide a trusted source of independent information, tools and informed practice to support people who are interested in creating, issuing and earning badges across Europe.
- 31. The Open Badge Network Mission and Charter To establish Open Badge Network as a trusted source of independent information, tools and informed practice, facilitating a badge ecosystem to be developed across Europe. The Partnership and Associate Partners of Open Badge Network agree to the following Charter: • Advocate the adoption of Open Badge standard across Europe to recognise learning achievements gained in variety of contexts • Provide information, guidelines and use cases to enable the widest possible adoption of Open Badges across policy, education, employers, service providers and individuals • Advocate for and enable social inclusion by ensuring marginalised groups are able to gain recognition for all their skills and achievements, supporting their personal and professional progression • Raise the value and profile of informal and non-formal learning taking place outside of formal education • Support on-going development of Mozilla’s open source backpack and other open badging tools, to ensure end users’ data is portable between systems and retained by the individual We ask that all partners of the Open Badge Network agree to support and advocate this Charter.

- DigitalMe Dedicated to ensure learners gain recognition for all their skills – use badges to help the showcase their skills to unlock opportunities for learing and employment So first of all why did we get involved with Open Badges? Believe, like most people do that learning is much more than the paper based certficates – problem is that learning, informal learning or applied learning isn’t recognised. Presents a real problem for us because over the past 10 yrs we’ve collaborated on countless informal or applied learning programmes – young people aren’t getting the recognition for learning Over yrs we’ve tried to map our programmes against qualifications – either too inflexible or they come and at governments whim When Badges came along they seemed to offer an opporunity for us to take control of acreditation within our programmes Now we spend our time working with a whole range or organisations helping them implmenet
- Open Badges is new technology standard which skills to be captured and shared. Like email is a standard everyone recognises – open badges are a new standard for the communication of skills
- Develop by Mozilla Foundation – global non-profit. Mozilla is a global, nonprofit organization dedicated to making the Web better. We believe that the Web is a shared public resource to be cared for, not a commodity to be sold. Creates open source tools to enable people to learn how to create the web, not just consume it. Good ethos around privacy and data – open badges are about enabling learners to own their own data Designed specifically for skills recognition Specifically to create new learning pathways. Open in two ways: Anyone can create them (brings up issues of value) Open data – user owns their data and can display where they choose to So how does this work?
- Seen this report? Developed by the City & Guilds Alliance. Learning to be Employable asserts that the skills needed for employability can be taught and groups these skills into six transferable skills and eight habits of mind. The report brings together different thinking around employability and gives practical advice for tutors about how to embed employability skills into an FE setting. It gives some academic rigour to something that has been hard to define and underpins this with case studies and practical suggestions as to how training providers, colleges and schools might cultivate more employable young people. Aligned to this report City and Guilds have developed four CPD credentials aimed at all learning delivery professionals. Can be earned by people have the opportunity to directly engage with learners to cultivate their employability skills but aspire to that role, or maybe they could make changes to processes that would have a positive impact… Recognised pain point for customers – people are not confident delivering employability, along with learners not being confident around being able to learn this stuff. Not an ideal combination! Nothing about the report, we got involved after it was delivered. Sally may have some comms but she hasn’t shared them with me: I have this about why we developed an Academy… (hope it is helpful) What are these credentials and why did we develop them? These credentials dovetail with hot-off-the-press research by City & Guilds and the Centre for Real-World Learning where Employability skills are grouped into: (i) 6 Transferable Skills and (ii) 8 habits of mind. This report gives some academic rigour to something that has been hard to define and underpins this with case studies and practical suggestions as to how training providers, colleges and schools might cultivate more employable young people. These CPD credentials offer a way to provide professional recognition and reward to individuals who wish to engage with this area and embed it into their curricular and co-curricular experiences their students. And because we have built this CPD recognition offer using Open Badges we are offering people the chance to be part of, and learn more about, this EdTech revolution. Because Open Badges can be shared with to share with employers, educators or colleagues via social media sits such as LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter people can showcase their updated ability in an increasingly competitive industry. Who is our Academy aimed at? The academy is for Learning Delivery Staff (tutors, trainers, teachers, education managers) who want to demonstrate continued professional development in line with: best-practice, regulatory, industry and social and economic change. It’s for staff who: • appreciate support in identifying valuable professional development opportunities to maintain and advance skills and/or • want to have their post-qualification professional development recognised and be accredited for the time invested and activities undertaken and/or • want to demonstrate the knowledge and skills that they have and want to showcase updated ability in an increasingly competitive industry. It’s an alternative approach to CPD which is meaningful and related to specific learning which can be transferred to a person’s workplace. Will a credential help me to get a promotion? City & Guilds Digital Credentials provide verification of an individual’s professional development skills. With rapid change and an increasingly competitive climate this portable and highly visible validation of skills by the UKs largest and most longstanding vocational awarding organisation will go a long way in securing recognition by employers, learners and peers.

Chance to esign a badge after lunch if you stay Current Activities Infrastructure Open Badge Network is supporting the development of the Open Badge Infrastructure across Europe through the wider open badge community groups. This includes the development of the Open Badge Backpack, open badge extensions and a competency repository. We are capturing use cases from the European community to ensure the Open Badge standard and technology meets our needs. Networks We are supporting organisations to create local open badge networks through our Badges in Territories work. This includes publishing the inventory of Open Badge projects to allow organisations to share their work, connect and collaborate. Our Badge in Territories discussion paper provides case studies of how to create open badges networks locally. Materials and Guidelines In order to support organisations to implement open badges OBN is creating a series of materials and guidelines including Open Badges for organisations and individuals, a paper on Open Badges and Quality and a policy paper. OBN will also be running a MOOC from Sept 2016. All outputs can be found on the OBN portal www.openbadgenetwork.com
