For all - what badging systems / frameworks did you use and did they integrate well with your LMS (and which LMS) or did you use a custom solution, and if so was it quite a manual process to administer. thx

Evaluating evidence requires educators to develop "recognition practices" - respect for alternative forms of knowing, interpretation, equivalence, respect for non-institutional learning, theory-in-use, learning outcomes... Can the panel comment on the ways they have developed these capabilities in their teams?

Further to someone else's question below - Sheryl can you share about upcoming funding the universities can apply

Emily, There were several projects in Sheryl’s work (and HASTAC and MacArthur) that dealt with privacy issues for K12 kids

Any advice on using badges with k12 students? Particularly in regards to legal concerns on privacy and exposing under 18s to third parties?

I have a response to Katie ANU's question that is a little too complex for text…but this is something I've thought a lot about. It's one of the core questions that people need a frame when beginning badge system design.

Sarah, I don’t think that Moodle can support branching story lines, algorithmic rule triggers, etc. so the ‘game-like’ aspects are hampered. I think in the future people can jump out of an LMS, go do a game or challenge, and then come back in...

That is a great question -- I haven't heard of any UX research done on the Backpack. The Mozilla folks seem to change things often, so perhaps researchers are not tackling this for that reason. I am guessing that the team has probably received a lot of feedback and has thought about UX internally.

Wondering if you could do your challenge system and collection of analytics with Moodle rather than having to create a whole separate platform? Did you try that first and then move on?

# data[].attributes.body
Emily, Good game design and UI design is essential, and the signs of participation and motivation to continue is crucial in those designs.

Yes, the badge at the end of the ‘Leadership’ challenge is part of getting a certificate on the “Curtin Extra Certificate” and same with the ‘Careers’ challenge.

This post summarizes a meeting between representatives of six leading ePortfolio providers, four digital badge providers, and four professional associations on August 2 in Boston at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Authentic, Experiential, and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL)
We searched for and found synergy between these two crucial technologies that are helping innovators re-imagine how learning can be represented in the Internet era. They are starting to come together to create what some are calling Learning Recognition Networks (LRNs).

This meeting also brings to a close the two-year Open Badges in Higher Education (OBHE) project, carried out with the support of the MacArthur Foundation. We will be discussing the Boston meeting and future directions for LRNs in the next Open Badges Community Call hosted by the Badge Alliance. The call is at 1200 noon EST on August 31 and all are welcome and encouraged to join (meeting at this Uberconference link).

David - with your challenge site - is the badges/skills gained recognised again within the students' main degrees somehow?

There is a lot of potential in Bernard's example of MS Ed Design & Tech to collaborate with professional organisations and across universities. Has Concordia got a system in place to track and record this or is it still in concept stage?

In response to one of the questions about the current HASTAC competition, take a look at our Trust Challenge (applications open September 3 in North America, which is your September 4). Data, trust, privacy, trust, civility, trust, access, trust, badges, trust, etc. ;)

How do you deal with loss of competence when a skill that earned a batch has not been used and deteriorates over time, eg a software package? How do you deal with this in regard to accepting batches from outside but also in regard to issuing batches.

What sort of expiry system do you use, or recommend?

In one example (not from the Badges for Lifelong Learning projects), the students expressed strong negative emotions to badges when they were folded into grades. It isn't clear from the research is the problem was the implementation (e.g. not explaining at the beginning of the course that badges would contribute to grades) or mixing too many non-academic outcomes with academic outcomes. Students were assessed for behaviors (e.g. attendance, time management, etc.) that were not traditionally measured at such a granular level.

Yes, that would be great. We often hear the good news stories but learning from a few fails of adoption would be interesting. No need to name
