Student Engagement
…two critical features…
The first is the amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities. The second is how the institution deploys its resources and organizes the curriculum and other learning opportunities to get students to participate in activities that decades of research studies show are linked to student learning.

– Earners driven by assignment (currently)
– Watching for student-driven uptick later
– Troubleshoot module-to-middleware process
• Phase II: “Gold Seal” Badges for FacDev
• Beyond: Multiple conversations re: badging

BlendKit2012 Badges Data
• Participants may be engaging with materials in isolation
• Badges based upon evidence• Individual engagement more evident• Example
Reading Reaction on public blog (fewer) v. entry on Reading Reaction Form (more)Paragraphs of personal reflection made evident!

BlendKit Next Steps
• Build upon successes (yes, we had some!)
• Use UCF middleware + Credly• Consider streamlining/automating without
sacrificing rich qualitative data• Integrate with LMS (Instructure Canvas)

Badging Observations
• Each stakeholder determines value
o Issuer, Earner, “Observer,” (Displayer)
• Potential value in each phase of badging:
o Underlying data/record
o Notification email
o Claiming (“Save and Share”)
o Making public
o Linking to specific badges
![Page 76: Exploring the potential of badging: Badges = engagement + data](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5549bd05b4c90564768b50d8/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Unanswered Questions to Ponder
• Why do badges appeal to some but not others?• Does badging really engage the unengaged?• What is the right balance of automation and
personal attention for course badging?• What is the relationship between badges and
formal credentials?• What is the right balance of curricular and co-
curricular badging at an institution?
