Going beyond the use of badges for participation, innovators are getting serious about the role of digital badges in stackable micro-credentials that meet the market of learners where they are.  Innovative institutions will share their badge program essentials and provide advice on how you can follow their lead and learn from their experience.

Employers: Recruiting and Developing Staff via Competencies and Digital Credentials

A principal catalyst for momentum behind open badges is the potential for badges to empower learners in their work careers by providing clear and verifiable statements of what the learner knows and can do, expressed in language that addresses employers' needs.  Hear about efforts on the "demand side", and how major employers view competencies and digital credentials in their talent acquisition and development strategies.

The Blockchain in Education for Digital Credentials and Badges

Presented by Chris Jagers,  Co-Founder and CEO, Learning Machine

The blockchain provides a new technical infrastructure of trust that is used to store an unalterable history of transactions. Issuing official records to students is an example of a transaction that can be cryptographically signed, permanently recorded on the blockchain, and independently verified by anyone granted access to a record. Examples of these learner-controlled records could include documents such as diplomas, transcripts and certificates as well as data-rich digital credentials including extended transcripts and badges. The presentation will illustrate how this technology works, how it protects student privacy, and how it can be implemented today.

 

3:45 pm - 4:30 pm

Next Steps to Accelerate the Evolution of Digital Credentials

In October 2016, Mozilla, Collective Shift and 1EdTech signalled their mutual commitment to digital credentials and Open Badges with the announcement that the management of the Open Badges specification would transition to 1EdTech management, where badge ecosystem stakeholders and market leaders can contribute to its evolution. Hear from the principal decision makers about this transition and their expectations for the future of Open Badges.

The 1EdTech Learning Tools & Content Community of Practice is organizing an advanced LTI programming hackathon in sunny Orlando, March 3-4, 2017. And everyone is invited! This event brings together developers, programmers, interface designers, project managers, and anyone game for an intensive collaboration on LTI projects. Come with your own LTI project, partner with a team, or work on a pre-selected project. A ‘crash and burn’ Canvas test/dev environment will be available, as well as a simple simulator. If you want to test against another LMS environment, please make prior arrangements with your home institution or company. As part of the hackathon start participants or teams are asked to make a two-minute pitch to the group about their project. Then let the hack begin! We will wrap up the two-day event with a showcase where projects can be demonstrated.
