QUALIFICATIONS; THERE IS A LOT I AM CAPABLE OF DOING, I JUST DON’T

5. “WE JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME, OR TOOLS, TO CREATE NEW OR
EXCITING EXPERIENCES FOR THE STUDENTS. WE ALL HAVE SO MANY JOBS

The Open Badges in Scottish Education Group (OBSEG) was set up in early 2013 by Jisc to bring people and
projects based in Scotland, with an interest in Open Badges, together.
It performs: an overview and mapping function of Open Badge developments in Scottish Education; oversees

11. BADGE CASE STUDIES
3 KEY ELEMENTS: RETENTION MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT
“BADGES HAVE HELPED MY STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT
THEY NEED TO IMPROVE ON, FAR BETTER THAN LISTENING TO
FEEDBACK FROM ME.”
WWW.BADGEMAKERPROJECT.COM | @_BADGEMAKER

12. EDUCATOR EVENING
“BADGE MAKER COULD PROVIDE “SEAMLESS” INTEGRATION OF BADGES WITHIN THE EXISTING SYSTEM”
•
•
•
•
•
•
BADGES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GIVE A “VOICE” TO A WIDE RANGE OF 21ST CENTURY SKILLS
POTENTIAL FOR A NATIONAL / LOCAL AUTHORITY BADGE STORE
BADGES TIE IN WITH THE PERSONALISATION AND CHOICE ELEMENTS OF THE CURRICULUM
ALWAYS COME BACK TO HOW THE BADGE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIVIDUAL
OPEN BADGES SHOULD NEVER BECOME “AN INITIATIVE”
“I’M JUDGED BY THE NUMBER OF AS, BS AND CS I GET”

13. ARRAN HIGH SCHOOL CO-DESIGN
“BADGE MAKER COULD HELP ISOLATED SCHOOLS LIKE OURS TO BRIDGE THE
“OPPORTUNITY GAP” FOR OUR STUDENTS”
WWW.BADGEMAKERPROJECT.COM | @_BADGEMAKER

14. ARRAN HIGH SCHOOL CO-DESIGN
“THIS WOULD HELP ME SET PERSONAL AIMS AND BE
PROUD OF THEM WHEN I ACHIEVE IT.”
• HOW THEY LOOK IS IMPORTANT, YOU WANT TO KEEP IT AND
SHOW IT OFF
• BADGES COULD HELP REMIND ME WHAT I’VE DONE, WHAT I’VE
ACHIEVED.
• BADGES FROM TEACHERS WOULD BE MORE VALUABLE THAN
BADGES FROM YOUR FRIENDS.
“WIDER ACHIEVEMENT IS BECOMING A BIG PART OF
THE SENIOR PHASE, HOWEVER THERE IS NOT A GREAT
DEAL OF WAYS TO RECOGNISE IT. I THINK BADGE
MAKER COULD SOLVE THE WHOLE PROBLEM”
• BADGES GIVE TANGIBLE TARGETS
• WE COULD USE BADGE MAKER AS A MOTIVATIONAL,
REFLECTION TOOL
• IF ONE TEACHER IS DOING IT WE WOULD ALL NEED TO DO IT
• I WOULD LIKE PRE-MADE BADGES

15. GRACEMOUNT HIGH SCH OOL
“THIS COULD BE A WAY OF CONSTANTLY SHOWING THE STUDENTS
SUCCESS WITHIN THE SCHOOL”
• BEING ABLE TO DISPLAY BADGES REALLY EASILY IS IMPORTANT
• WANT TO EXPLORE PHYSICAL BADGES
• SENSE OF IMMEDIACY FOR STUDENTS
