Badges/Issuers
This page includes information about some organizations that are currently issuing badges. Badge issuing organizations are groups or individuals who have content to share and/or contributions and skills that they want to recognize. They determine the criteria and system design behind their badges, and they align those badges with the Open Badges Infrastructure. This benefits earners whose portable badges can then tell robust stories about what they're capable of. Organizations that issue badges come from various sectors and sizes. They include formal and informal educational institutions; multinational corporations; industry associations; non-profits; and groups interested in professional development. This list includes badge issuers who have chosen to share their badges here. Note that entries (and links) listed here have not been separately verified as this is a wiki page which is open to all to edit.

Dynamiser la formation en ligne par la “Gamification” La formation 2.0 est à portée de main et le web une ressource quasi infinie pour suivre l’évolution de nos métiers. Alors que les plateformes de formation en ligne fleurissent, la plupart d’entre-elles restent trop souvent textuelles et se contentent de réunir des supports de cours classiques en y ajoutant trop peu d’interactivité. Décevant, surtout à l’heure où les technologies ne sont plus un frein à nos idées. Pour cela, il semble intéressant de se pencher sur le concept de “gamification”. Qu’est ce que la « gamification » ? La « gamification » ou « ludification » en français est l’utilisation de mécanismes et techniques du jeu dans un contexte pourtant différent de celui-ci. Différences entre “gamification”, “serious game” et traditionnal game Pour la petite histoire, c’est en 2002 que Nick Pelling mettra un mot sur ce concept déjà utilisé depuis longtemps dans les méthodes de management. « Gamification » et e-learning Ce parcours s’affiche via une carte représentant un monde.

Mozilla and Badges: where next? | commonspace Open Badges started as a modest experiment: build open source badge issuing software for ourselves and others. As momentum around this experiment has grown, it feels like the opportunity is bigger: we could build openness and user empowerment into how learning — and professional identity — work all across the web. With Open Badges 1.0 out there in the world, now is the right time to ask: where next for Mozilla and badges? When Mozilla and MacArthur Foundation first started work on Open Badges about 18 months ago, the plan was to build a badge interchange standard (like SMTP for skills) and a collection of open source software for issuing and sharing badges (Badge Backpack, Open Badger, etc.). We’ve built all these things. The thing is: there has been way more excitement and pick up of badges than we expected. Of course, the fact that educators and policy makers are interested in badges doesn’t represent a victory in itself. In some ways, there is a parallel to Gecko and Firefox.

Dynamiser la formation en ligne par la “Gamification” - Clémence Floris, Neoxia La formation 2.0 est à portée de main et le web une ressource quasi infinie pour suivre l’évolution de nos métiers.

Décevant, surtout à l’heure où les technologies ne sont plus un frein à nos idées. En tant que concepteur, il est primordial aujourd’hui de dynamiser ces outils d’apprentissage.

Better Futures for 2 Million Americans Through Open Badges President Clinton Announces Commitment to Create New Pathways to College and Career Success President Bill Clinton today announced a Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action to massively expand access to a new method of academic and technical skills assessment known as Open Badges – online representations of earned knowledge and skills – to improve the futures of two million students and U.S. workers. Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative America (CGI America) meeting, an annual event of the Clinton Global Initiative that seeks innovative solutions for economic recovery, Clinton said three partners – the MacArthur Foundation, Mozilla, and HASTAC – have created the commitment to Open Badges. Outreach and technical assistance will be provided to help employers and universities across the country incorporate Open Badges in hiring, promotions, admissions, and credit over the next three years. “Open Badges is a great opportunity for our nation: American workers and businesses alike.

Badges et apprentissages informels, une greffe délicate Voici déjà deux ans que l'Initiative Open Badges (OBI) de Mozilla, soutenue financièrement par la fondation Mc Arthur, fait parler d'elle. C'est d'ailleurs en septembre 2011 que Denys Lamontagne signait le premier article de Thot Cursus consacré à ce sujet. Il y saluait l'important potentiel de ce dispositif en matière de reconnaissance des apprentissages informels. Pour ceux qui prendraient l'histoire en cours de route, voici ce que D. Lamontagne disait dans l'article mentionné plus haut : "Open Badges (Insignes ouverts) est une initiative de Mozilla financée par une fondation américaine. Depuis cette époque, l'intiative a connu un fort développement. Scoutisme et jeux vidéos D'où vient cette idée des badges ? Une autre source d'inspiration, plus récente et sans doute encore plus évidente que la référence au scoutisme, est le monde du jeu vidéo. Badger les apprentissages informels : pas si simple Henry Jenkins fait partie de ceux-là. Références : Jenkins, Henry. Lamontagne, Denys.

The Three T's of Badge System Design We’ve been working on the Mozilla Webmaker badge system, or at least initial alpha badges for the Summer Campaign and it’s tough! We knew that going in - if it were too easy, then we probably wouldn’t end up with very valuable or robust badges - but that didn’t make it easier. There are many things to consider and it’s very easy to get caught up and stuck in the core question of what badges? That’s a really loaded question because its not just about what to call the badges - which is a rabbit hole of itself altogether - but its also considerations around specific skills, levels and granularity (which is a huge/tough one), assessment, experience, etc. I’ve since stepped back and looked at the process and realized that there were a few considerations that actually helped us move forward - and that those considerations were one or more steps removed from the badges themselves. 3 T’s of Badge System Design: (1) Types - general categories of badges. Our alpha badge TYPES*:
