Written by Barry with scores of others* Introducing the DML Design Principles Documentation Project. I want to introduce the DML Badges Design Principles Documentation project.
This two-year project was launched at Indiana University in July 2012. The project intends to document the badge design principles that emerge from the Badges for Lifelong Learning initiative sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning program. In this post, I describe our general goals and seek input on accomplishing these goals. There are specific questions at the end if you want to jump ahead. Why Document Badge Design Principles?

Over those two decades, essentially the duration of my working life so far, every time I have tried to explain the magnitude of the disruptions (and the amount of potentials) that the network presents to formal education institutions (especially post secondary ones) the trump card interlocuters ALWAYS bring out to minimize the potential threat is “Accreditation.” Again, I’ll give you a second to stop laughing.

OpenBadges.me. Integrating the badge designer We've built our badge designer so that it can plug easily into other software applications.
The designer can be launched seamlessly from your own tools, allowing for rich graphics to be created, and then a published graphic sent back to your code as a Base64 encoded PNG or JSON string. Read more about integrating with our API documentation. Let us know what you think We love the potential of the Mozilla Open Badges initiative and want to be a part of what's going on, that's the reason we built the badge designer in the first place. If you've got an idea, an image suggestion, an integration opportunity or anything else you'd like to contribute then you can let us know on our feedback page or by dropping an email to product-manager@myknowledgemap.com.

In his poem “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” Wallace Stevens writes that he was “of three minds / Like a tree / In which there are three blackbirds.” Me, I’m of many minds, like a professor in a university in which there are proliferating ways of recognizing student learning and experience. Badges and Learning — LearningTimes. Badges and Learning In today’s ultra-connected and rapidly-changing world, people learn both on their own, as well as from experts and communities, and they learn in formal and informal contexts.
