If we’re successful, the benefits to learners will be tremendous.

There is a real chance to create learning that works more like the web.

OB Background■ Learners are learning everywhere

– But most of that learning doesn’t “count”.

■ Skills assessment and communication is limited in current system.

■ Few alternatives to the current accreditation/credentialing system.

Page 21: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

OB Goals■ Develop badges as an alternative

(micro-)accreditation/(micro-)credentialing system.

■ Avoid silos. Support badges from multiple issuers across the web.

■ Optimize value: make badges remixable and shareable with different audiences/sites.

■ Develop an open and decentralized supporting infrastructure to give learners control of the entire ecosystem.

Issuers■ Organization, consortium or individual

who issues badges into the OBI.■ Issuer issues a badge on their site, then

prompts the Badge Earner to push the badge into their Backpack.

■ Issuer badge systems are independent of the Infrastructure.

“— David Wiley

Badges are not assessments.

Page 31: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Badge Earner■ A person storing their badges within

the OBI.■ The Earner has interactions with

Issuers to earn badges, then can manage and share the badges in their Backpack out to various Display sites.

■ Learners are a type of Badge Earners.

Page 32: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Badge Backpack■ An authorized data storage plus a

management interface (control, share) for Earners.

■ Open source and federated – anyone can take the code and fork it.

■ Mozilla is building a reference or default Backpack.

Page 33: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Badge

■ A single credential demonstrating a skill, achievement, quality or affiliation.

■ More than a static image or button: its value comes from the information or metadata attached to it.

Page 34: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Badge – inside■ A JSON blob of metadata embedded in

a PNG file (“Badge Baking”).‣ Easily portable, an actual “thing” that

can be emailed around carrying all the information with it.

‣ Important for decentralization, so that Earners have more control.

Page 35: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Badge – metadata■ Who issued the badge.■ The issue date.■ How the badge was earned.■ Hyperlinks back to artifacts,

documents, or testimonials demonstrating the work that lead to earning the badge.

■ Authentication back to the issuer.

Page 36: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Verification■ “Did the Issuer issue this badge?”,

“Is it still valid or has it expired?”, etc.■ Verification happens between the

Displayer and the Issuer.■ Hosted Assertions: metadata points to

a URL that the Displayers can ping.■ In the future OBI will support Signed

Assertions.

Page 37: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Displayers■ Display of badges is where a significant

part of the value lies: badges are not siloed or stuck within one site.

■ Earner controls through the Backpack where badges are displayed.

■ Earners can also make badges public and discoverable through the Earner’s email address.

Page 38: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

Identity■ Identity is a critical part of the OBI.■ Identity needs to be open and

decentralized.■ How? Persona, fka BrowserID.

browserid.org wiki.mozilla.org/Identity‣ People understand email address■ They don’t understand OpenID

■ Anyone can issue accreditations about anything.

■ People can keep their own backpacks full of credentials.‣ Access & display control. ‣ Attached to detailed accreditation

info and evidence.‣ Linked back to issuers.

“— The Chronicle of Higher Education

Compared with the new open badge systems, the standard college transcript looks like a sad and archaic thing.

Page 43: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

■ OBI as an open infrastructure for presentation portfolios.

■ OBI separates the credentialing and teaching functions of higher education.

■ What about assessment?

Conclusions (2)

Page 44: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

“— David Wiley

…no one is paying sufficient attention to the gap between learning anything anywhere (OER) and receiving a recognition (OBI) – this gap is called “assessment.”

Page 45: Open Badges - CENT UJI 2012

“— David Wiley

…many in the field are overlooking the place where badges make the most sense of all – the formal higher education institution.

Moodle & Mahara

■ Totara Learning Solutions will be developing an Open Badges solution for Moodle and Mahara.‣ Moodle as Issuer.‣ Mahara as Displayer.
