Integrated with Professional Development and Badging

Format and LMS for offerings

      -Asynchronous/Synchronous

      -Partnering

1. Create a badge constellation

3. Identify a global assessment strategy
4. Determine system relationships & how learners progress

To develop an integrated badge system we will:

Visual map of scope and scale:

          -skill or knowledge development

          -summative achievement

          -progress or milestones

          -membership activity/involvement

1. Create a badge constellation

Map articulates each badge:

          -backward design

          -Title, description, criteria, expiration

            (if applicable, and evidence

Sample:

UCF Infolit http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/

2. Define each Badge and relation to System

Define when competency has been earned:

              -authentic artifact

              -test, quiz or formal assessment

              -peer review of work

              -verified participation (event or program)

              -membership or interest group

              -presenter, facilitator or leader

3. Identify a global assessment strategy

-Consider milestones or other steps

-Formative or Summative steps

-Make progression easy to understand

4. Determine system relationship & learner progression

Crucial questions:

 -What does the badge represent in HEeD? Elsewhere?

 -What rewards are available?

 -Will it unlock added benefits?

5. Design benefits, opportunities & rewards

Adopt Badge Platform:

          -Create, Distribute, Track

          -Open Badge Platform

       -Backpack or Curate  

6. Address Technology Considerations

Essentials in a Badge Platform:

          -Define badge, metadata, titles, description, etc.

          -Manage organization issuing badges

       -Set badge earning criteria or rules for earners

       -Host assertion and badge evidence

          -Track and analyze badge-earning and sharing data

          -Confirm identity enable secure badge acceptance

6. Address Technology Considerations

Badges should include:

          -indicate balance of skill/competency

          -branding from HEeD Association

          -color and art theme or branding

          -title of badge and years

7. Utilize appropriate graphic design
