Digital Badges Transforming Non-Credit Education: Credit-Bearing Programming Next | The EvoLLLution
- Alternative and informal education provides just-in-time, targeted skills training. Adults struggle to find the time for training given their work and family responsibilities. Alternative and informal education such as noncredit courses provides the flexibility that they need
- Approximately 85 percent of our non-credit students already hold a postsecondary credential or degree
- They are not looking for an additional degree, but instead to update and upgrade their skill set.
- Two-year schools work closely with local employers to identify training needs and also to provide re-training as needed.
- In our case using digital badges to award microcredentials for noncredit learning was a better alternative than trying to launch a MOOC program.
- We also needed to build an internal structure and strategies to run a large badging program. This included dedicated faculty resources, branding standards, an operational flowchart and student/instructor training materials on digital badges

Raising the standard: Open Badges 2.0 – digitalme – Medium
- what is the Open Badges standard and why is it so important?
- part of the City & Guilds Group
- “Version 2.0 of the Open Badges standard takes us one step closer towards creating global skills currency. It ensures individuals have ownership and control of their learning data and builds increased trust by adding third party endorsement to learners achievements
- From Endorsements to Version Control, the new Open Badges 2.0 standard brings with it some new and improved enhancements that are well worth your attention.
- Endorsements means that badges issued to groups of people can now be endorsed by a third party.
- Powered by Markdown (a lightweight markup language), Embed Criteria and Embed Evidence will feature in Open Badges 2.0.
- This brings a new dimension to badging as the criteria used to award them and evidence of skill to earn them become more machine readable
- The new standard will help badges become more discoverable and assist human resources and learning and development professionals in seeing every skill within their team.
- The new standard will also feature Full Portability.
- With the new changes, badge associated metadata moves with the badge.
- Open Badges 2.0 will be issued in multiple languages — a true reflection of the global adoption of open badges as a skill visibility tool.
- Another new feature for badge issuers is the introduction of version control. The new standard will allow for updates to be made to the badge framework and for these versions and the associated differences to be viewable
- As the news of the launch of Open Badges 2.0 rolls out so will the announcements of various badging platforms gaining compliance. To be Open Badges 2.0 certified by IMS as an Open Badges Issuer, Open Badges Displayer or Open Badges Host there are several tests to complete
-
- An Open Badge Issuer must be able to prove that they can issue a valid baked badge and demonstrate how the badge is retrieved by the recipient.
- An Open Badge Displayer must be able to demonstrate that their platform can display a minimum set of badge metadata and support viewer-initiated verification of a badge.
- An Open Badges Host will need to show that they are able to import all formats of Open Badges as well as prove that badge metadata is not lost upon export of the badge.
