RATIONALE FOR OPEN BADGES

Learning is changing ... Learning extends across multiple contexts, experiences and interactions Learning environments become open, networked, distributed, personal, social Learners can take multiple paths to acquire competencies and refine skills

but ... Much of learning remains undetected or unrecognised in formal accreditation Formally recognised learning outcomes represent a tiny fraction of all learning

Open Badges ... Help capture and transfer evidence of learning across contexts

Online Recruiting Trends 2013 (Germany):→ 9 out of 10 job offers are published online → 84% of all job applications are submitted electronically

Social media as a recruiting channel (Germany): → 29% of companies in 2011→ 74% of companies in 2013

War for talents and high potentials → 90% of HR cannot recognise talents in job applications→ Missing not formal qualification but generic competences, e.g. intercultural skills

“CREDIT POINTS” APPROACH FOR ISSUING BADGES

Approach 1 “Mastery” Identify learning goals to be achieved/mastered by all students and

describe criteria for getting a badge prior to learning. >>> pre-defined, standardised, predictable

Approach 2 “Discovery” Observe the process and ask stakeholders (teachers, learners, peers) to

identify unique achievements of each individual during learning.>>> emergent, individual, potential
