‘Until the value problem is solved the potential for #digitalbadges in #highered will be limited.’http://t.co/JPz516Ds30

Original Tweet: https://twitter.com/dmlresearchhub/status/556876270144065537

Evaluators need a better, faster way to value digital badges. Until this value problem is solved, the potential for digital badging in higher education will be limited.
To address the value problem, we recently started a project called Open Badge Exchangedesigned to provide a public, distributed, and shared badge transaction ledger.
what if the value problem isn’t about a person’s/evaluator’s ability/speed to assign value.. but rather assuming it can be done. might we get to the place where the person’s trail is enough/better. what if we were able to make inspecting/validating/credentialing.. irrelevant..

great visual of nodes of learning.. just wonder if others labeling them will always mess with our gut/intrinsic authenticity..

“The #1 Most Important Question to Answer in Your Digital Badge System Design” by @SenorG medium.com/@SenorG/the-1-…
i don’t know…
businesses pitching to early grades..
endorsement partners seem to take hold of … what’s possible… ie: so your dreams (at least of endorsement… which is lauded.. because its reason aps buys into badges.. per post)… lie w/in what is already being done locally… ugh
same song second verse.. kinder (more Econ secure) sounding accent.. little bit worse (because of its subtlety).. by amazing/kind people (i know.. i resonate.. what i was doing 7 ish years ago.. pushing hard on the edge of the system.. from the inside)

City & Guilds digital credentials video via Doug

we need ways to present selves to world..

do we..?

what if credentials worked like the web..

thinking credentials are more about permission.. and web more about permission\less ness

evidence based..

evidence ness

instead of meaningless worlds.. turbo charged profiles pointing to real world skills/evidence

assure credibility

?

can any certification be equitable…?

One of my highlight takeaways from @slgrant’s report:
She always says
Digital Badge *CREDENTIALS*
(vs just Digital Badges) #openbadges (http://twitter.com/SenorG/status/836584069483855872?s=17)

exactly…and exactly why they compromise us… no borders.. no label (s)

John Buzzard thinks it’s impt to educate teachers through earning #openbadges => training on how to issue => issuing credentials to students (http://twitter.com/SenorG/status/836593342515458048?s=17)

fuller too much… inspectors of inspectors.. and tools to inspect inspectors

Design decision: Chase big numbers thru compliance or meaningful numbers thru enthusiastic leaders? (http://twitter.com/SenorG/status/836595190018289664?s=17)

don’t chase numbers

You cannot dev your own #openbadges in a vacuum! Impt to collab, even w/ competition in order to construct sustainable ecosystem – @pereaink (http://twitter.com/SenorG/status/836597089509462018?s=17)

is a vacuum…like www has to be all of us.. focusing on non judgmental trail.. not on credential ing

Noah Geisel (@SenorG) tweeted at 8:23 AM – 28 Feb 2017 :

Design decision w #openbadges:
Are they digital representations of existing structures (eg redundant) or credentialing something else? (http://twitter.com/SenorG/status/836597765979394052?s=17)

isn’t credential ing an existing structure…..?
so aren’t badges… digi reps of existing structures..?
