Why Add Badges to ePortfolios
• Can provide additional useful information• Specific claims and detailed evidence • Context in which content was created• Standardize the inclusion of additional information without cluttering eportfolios
• May simplify the process of defining competencies• May offload summative credentialing functions• Allows more formative and transformative functions
• Can connect eportfolio content to competencies and grades• Learners stack badge URLs in maps or gradebook
• Can increase value of portfolio content by circulating independently
