All Learners Have a Story, Help Them Tell It

 

1EdTech members are revolutionizing how learners capture their achievements and competencies beyond the traditional transcript to help each student tell their story. They do this by leveraging digital microcredentials, and learner-owned lifelong achievement records developed and supported by the 1EdTech community.

Following the Open Badges standard from 1EdTech provides extra value to the Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) Badge Project because it means educators can get the maximum value out of their badges in various ways.

The verifiable data embedded in the badges help the earners show what they can do and what they learned across schools, districts, and even industries. Creating new badges is also easier as teacher and department needs evolve.

Open University

The Open University (UK) was created to offer higher education to all with no barriers to entry, and the idea of open standards fits in perfectly with that mission. That’s why The Open University is proud to be part of the community that helped create and now uses the 1EdTech Open Badges standard for its free OpenLearn courses as a microcredential offering to learners.

Open Badges are a major draw for learners looking to start a new or grow in their current careers, and as part of the 1EdTech community, The Open University can ensure the needs of their learners are considered as the technology evolves. The standard is not only open, providing more mobility, but also allows for valuable and verifiable data that can be used to connect those learners to future careers.

Badges are a great motivator for learners to complete a course of study, but I don’t think many of them even know the power Open Badges offer. The technical work and information held in the badge have the potential to connect them to new opportunities. It’s so much more than other achievements on a resume or LinkedIn.

One of Moodle’s philosophies is that people are “always learning.” To help those life-long learners tell their stories and share the skills they learned from K-12 to higher education and throughout their careers, the learning platform leverages 1EdTech’s Badge Connect certification.

The certification helps to ensure learners have autonomy over their own credentials and can more easily share those accomplishments across various learning and badge platforms.
