PARTICIPANT BADGES

I hope to build on the badge pilot in 2016 but introducing a level scheme of badges for participants.

This will involve the Bronze, Silver and Gold Award. The Bronze Award can be obtained for attendance , the Silver can be obtained for providing a reflective piece of evidencing learning at the conference and the Gold for providing reflective piece of work after the conference that demonstrates impact of the participant putting into practice their learning.

There will also be the social media / champion badge at entry level

PRESENTER BADGE

This will be along the same lines as last year

ENABLER BADGE

I would like to be able to issue a badge for other contribution to the conference such as Session Chair or Peer Reviewer Badge as there appears to be an appetite for this

About building digital capability

Workplaces are changing. It is estimated that, in 20 years' time, 90% of all jobs will require people to work with digital technologies. Already, many firms struggle to recruit workers with digital skills.

To live, learn and work in a digital society, your students need to develop the digital skills that employers want now, as well as the confidence and deeper-seated capabilities that will enable them to progress in their careers and adapt to emerging technologies. Our own research shows that students expect their college or university to deliver this alongside their degree or vocational training.
