MOZILLA’S OPEN BADGES
“Learning today happens everywhere. But it's oXen difficult to get recogni1on for skills and achievements that happen online or out of school. Mozilla Open Badges helps solve that problem, making it easy for any organisa1on to issue, manage and display digital badges across the web.”

BADGE FIRST CHALLENGES
PROCESSES
• Curriculum is not a large fixed en1ty • Offerings would become more flexible – and therefore admissions/enrolments
• Pathways would be more flexible • Personalized learning pathways the norm • Curriculum review quicker and more responsive
DESIGN
• Assessment design becomes explicit • Designing for lifelong learning becomes easier (ongoing PD)
• Learning experience separated from assessment
• Design for feedback, support and tracking
PEOPLE
• Faculty • Learners • Academic Development staff / eLearning support • Library • Industry Stakeholders
• Ownership changes • More team based • Act like a community to “tend” the badge system
PRODUCTS
(warning: en1rely my dream world) • Curriculum documents > badge systems • Course sites & resources > badge learning experience sites
• LMS > badgekit, badge navigator? • Timetable/Academic calendar > flexible and ongoing
CONCLUSION
Extremely challenging to achieve in exis1ng structures and cultures More likely to succeed in • new plagorms (Skillshare, Treehouse), • new ventures (Swinburne Online, Chisholm Online)
• or new communi1es
