Employer Perspectives on Digital Badges and Learner Records The Education Design Lab's 21st Century Skills badges are a suite of digital badges that represent the most in-demand skills employers are seeking but struggle to identify in college graduates. The Lab created the suite, over a three year period, in collaboration with over 30 employers and 13 institutions and recently published a free toolkit containing curricula and assessments. In only a few months, the toolkit already has 600 members from over 300 colleges, universities, organizations, and businesses around the world who have agreed to use the Lab's framework, language and assessments. The next phase, #TeeUpTheSkills, is aimed at employers to measure the impact on the hiring process. Learn about employers’ perceptions of these badges and other findings to date.

Redefining What Counts: Building Pathways to HigherEd for Opportunity Youth What if there was a way for youth to gain work experience, obtain valuable career readiness competencies and make those achievements and how they relate to one another visible and meaningful? What if those achievements flowed along a pathway that earned youth college credentials, job certifications and more? In 2019, LRNG and SNHU will work with leaders, employers, and community members to reimagine the learning ecosystem and create seamless pathways utilizing digital badges to unlock access to learning and opportunity for all youth. We know that fragmented systems are a huge barrier to entry to post-secondary schooling for opportunity youth. The goal of this pathway work is to create frictionless transitions between the LRNG ecosystem and that of SNHU and higher education for young people. Always with an eye toward equity, the goal of this collaboration is to increase the number of opportunity youth attending college and/or accessing successful careers and a living wage. Join digital badging and higher ed leaders for a lively discussion on how we connect opportunity youth to higher education with badges and pathways.

10:00 - 10:50 am |
Employers All In on Digital Credentials How impactful are digital credentials to global employers? Join panelists from industry-leading employers and employer partners to learn how employers are not only consumers of digital credentials but are devising their own badge programs to fill urgent labor needs. Panelists will address how to create an employment-focused badging infrastructure to attract, engage, develop and retain top talent. Panelists will share success realized, lessons learned and their visions for the future of digital credentials.

Competencies as Currency: Is Your Organization Ready? Corporation for a Skilled Workforce has just launched a center called, The Competency Project with the mission of accelerating the use of competencies as the primary currency people and organizations use in work and learning. Using competencies as the new 'method of exchange' in the labor market will increase opportunities and economic mobility. Technology will enable and accelerate the use of competencies as the currency in the labor market. The Beta Credentials Framework, which was created with Lumina Foundation support is an 8-level competency calibrator that enables leveling of any credential, job description or set of competencies across all industries, disciplines and stakeholders. It is free and open source and is being turned into a digital application and profile bank currently. thecompetencyproject.com

Momentum in Micro-Credentialing: The New Era of Educator Growth and Advancement Hear how different organizations are incorporating micro-credentials into their educator talent management strategies. Fourteen states have launched micro-credential initiatives as well as hundreds of districts across the country. While many think of micro-credentials as an alternative form of professional development, they are being leveraged for so much more. In this session, you’ll hear how organizations are using micro-credentials to help recruit, retain, and develop effective educators. We will discuss how they are implementing micro-credentials, not just as a mode of professional learning, but as the building blocks for career advancement, certification, and licensure. By the end, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how micro-credentialing works, why states are building incentives for them, and the implementation and structural changes required to make a shift towards micro-credentialing.

11:30am - 12:00pm |
Improving Student and Faculty Success through Comprehensive Learner Records In higher education, receiving continuous and real-time feedback of learning is essential for students, faculty, and administrators as they strive for success and meet academic goals. To help all students meet their learning goals, educators need to systematically collect and use data to guide instructional decisions in order to foster student growth and achievement. To make the data actionable, they need to be visible to all stakeholders through a structure that supports an ongoing cycle of improvement. This includes collecting data from multiple sources and providing guidance in formulating academic strategies to support lifelong learning and instructional change. Comprehensive learner records are an effective approach to demonstrating achievement that transcends individual courses and educational experiences. By providing developmentally relevant feedback to students in real-time, comprehensive learner records promote significant student and faculty ownership of learning goals, creating a stronger sense of purpose and curricular meaning. These, in turn, promote more effective student learning and academic performance. Beyond graduation, comprehensive learner records are exportable and therefore can be shared with potential employers as authenticated evidence of student achievement and verified skills, directly connecting learners to employment opportunities.

Digital Badges at Scale: Statewide Micro-credentials to Achieve Strategic Outcomes How can strategic goals be met through statewide programs? Learn how two leading state systems of higher education are using digital badges to further student achievement. Through the Badging Essential Skills for Transfer (B.E.S.T.) initiative, the University System of Maryland's Kirwan Center is working in partnership with Portfolium to address employer perceptions that college graduates lack the skills needed for workplace success. At SUNY, a system-wide policy sets a new standard for developing high-quality micro-credentials - demonstrated through Open Badges - that recognizes faculty authority over curriculum, requires institutional endorsement, and ensures that credentials are meaningful and in students' best interest (portable, stackable, aligned to standards). The policy recognizes the many uses of micro-credentials and is both flexible and exacting, supporting innovation while assuring quality.

Digital Credentials in Michigan: A K-to-Career Perspective The State of Michigan is on a badging odyssey to determine how best to effectively recognize, reward, and represent effective learning for students when and wherever it happens across the kindergarten-to-college-and-career spectrum. The effort is now expanding to include teacher professional development. In this panel conversation, the Michigan Department of Education, the Michigan Afterschool Partnership, and Michigan Virtual will discuss how their coordinated micro-credentialing initiatives have changed the career-ready conversation in the Great Lake State and make the case for Comprehensive Learner Records (CLR) for every student and educator in the Mitten.

Rethinking Recognition with Open Badges 2.0: Endorsement and Collaborative Issuing Networks eCampusOntario is the edtech network of excellence for Ontario's 45 publicly funded colleges and universities. The network has been working with its member institutions and CanCred.ca, the Canadian partner of Open Badge Factory (OBF), to "rethink recognition". This rethink leverages some exciting features of Open Badges 2.0 implemented by OBF's 1EdTech certified technology, such as Alignment and Endorsement, along with other features native to OBF and CanCred, such as collaborative badge issuing. The result is an emerging badge network, where badges converge on a provincial recognition hub, the eCampusOntario Passport. Come see how we're building a regional recognition rethink north of the border!
