•Evidence of learning (incl. prior learning)

The Bad

•Gaming the system

•Increased expectation of extrinsic reward

The ugly

•As a technology of power

•As a symbol of exclusivity

•As an act of cultural production

GuidelinesWhat to look out for when designing badges

Design ProcessBuilding badge design into your processes

Badge creation - Who determines what badges exists and what

one can attempt

Badge attainment – how is this embedded as part of the learning

process

Badge value – how is value evolved in the learner community

and beyond

Badge display – how will our users share their achievements and

with whom
