In/formal Credentials : Governing Open Badges Fields, Erin
Abstract
While many conversations around open badges in academia highlight the potential for co-curricular records, skills-based credentials, and personalized learning data, the impact they may have on the formal academic learning ecosystem is difficult to determine. Badges are at the innovation stage, where badge projects are emerging but their success remains undefined and unproven. What badges will mean for university environments will require not only a larger number of implementations and assessment of outcomes, but also a clear idea of what badges mean in the academic environment and how they are governed. With the UBC Open Badges pilots, questions about governance, new forms of credentialing and authority are fast becoming issues that need to be addressed.
