Open BadgesWhat people are saying about Open Badges“It was nice to see a badges scheme in operation. I really did think that collecting badges incentivised my participation.”Participant, Jisc e-Assessment for Learning course
“ We believe that Open Badges have enormous potential in motivating learning, improving retention and in presenting the skills of our learners in way that is clear and accessible for them and employers. In this way, Open Badges will help our learners stand out in the jobs market.”Vice-Principal: Quality and Innovation, Borders College.

Open BadgesWhat people are saying about Open Badges“…while academic achievements can be evidenced by an…academic transcript, there is no such evidence of so-called soft skills – the personal attributes that enhance a graduate’s work ethic, job performance, interaction with work colleagues and, ultimately, their career prospects. I am convinced that Open Badges can …evidence the development of these personal attributes in a way that is recognisable to, and trusted by, employers.” Tom Caira, Chair of the Industrial Advisory Board (Computing). University of the West of Scotland
