How do you get started with awards and badges?
How can you experiment with them safely?
How do students respond to awards?
How do you make them meaningful?
And most importantly, how do you make these tools reinforce more of the behaviour you really want from learners?
In this session, we will share practical tips and tricks on how to get started with awards in your course (if you haven’t yet) and look at the results of early testing in online campus courses at Queen’s University. Then we will transition into practical applications of Open Badges as portable micro-credentials for careers. We’ll explore how they can be the logical next step for making skills and learning visible and progressive, in the classroom and beyond: transition to employment, continuous career development and lifelong learning, using examples from leading institutions across the globe and innovative employers across sectors.
