Rolf ist Mitgründer des International Council on Badges and Credentials (ICoBC), arbeitet bei LinkedIn Deutschland und ist in verschiedenen Verbänden aktiv. Mit Thomas Jenewein spricht Rolf über den Stand von Badges und Credentials und was solche digitalen Zertifikate wert sind. Hier tut sich derzeit einiges, sei es auf politischer Ebene (z.B. deutsche Meta-Bildungsplattform), technisch (digitale Identität) und im Markt. Neben HRTech und EdTech etabliert sich ein neues Feld, in dem u.a. auch LinkedIn aktiv ist. Ziele sind u.a. Karrierepfade transparent, und Anerkennung in Form digitaler Zertifikate vergleichbar zu machen. Neben Trends wie Blockchain und Peer Reviews teilt Rolf auch seine Narrative, dass Lernen mehr ist als die Freude daran. Weiteres wie immer im Podcast.

As more and more people acquire skills and credentials outside of structured degree programs, employers are looking for credible ways to assess what potential employees have learned. One increasingly popular and agile approach to meeting this need is digital badging, and in this episode of WorkforceRx you can learn all about it from one of the pioneers in the space, Wayne Skipper, the founder and CEO of Concentric Sky, makers of Badgr http://www.badgr.com. Skipper likens digital badges to mini-transcripts with supporting evidence that is independently verifiable by third parties. “Digital badges allow institutions, which are now measuring student success through the lens of job placement, do a better job of helping employers understand what is meant by a credential and what proficiencies a learner who goes through their program can demonstrate.” As co-founder of the Open Skills Network, Skipper is also behind efforts to provide meaningful tools to reduce the bias that can result if only machine learning is involved in assessing proficiencies. Join host Van Ton-Quinlivan for this fascinating discussion about the potential threats and opportunities for educational institutions and employers as the shift to skills-based hiring continues to gain momentum.

In today´s episode of ‘Professional Success Podcast', host Sheila Boysen-Rotelli, a Master Certified Career Coach and Talent Development Leader talks about Micro-credentialing which aligns well with the topic of up-skilling and re-scaling. She discusses what micro-credentials are, why they are so in demand in the marketplace these days and how it helps you to grow your career.  Episode Highlights:  Employers are very quickly realizing that the old ways of doing things as before the pandemic, might just not be a fit anymore to help companies succeed. The pandemic has really necessitated a vast and immediate change in the employment landscape. Sheila talks about Digital Credentials and what they really are. Micro-credentials sometimes take less time to complete than a full academic certificate or degree program. Micro-credentials and Digital Badges really give you the edge to customize a set of skills that you align with your interests, and then strategically align with the business needs and positions that you would like to become a part of or grow into. Sheila discusses how to think about different types or content areas of micro-credentials. “They can be used for both academic & professional purposes, and give you that opportunity to really be able to pick skills that align with what you'd like to do next” says, Sheila. Micro-credentials are worth it, but it takes a little bit of research and opportunity to think about what skills would be most helpful. Check out Episode No. 32 to explore more about value of up-skilling and re-scaling. 3 Key Points: Forward-thinking organizations are doing better than they were before the pandemic and due to the rapid evolution of digital technology, they are thinking about how they can shift what they were doing to meet the future demand of business. Digital Credentials are a different way for us to look at representing a specific competency or a specific skill. Meanwhile, Micro-credential is a compact digital credential that verifies some type of achievement in, in demand skills and competencies. Micro-credentials are specifically designed for professionals who want to advance their knowledge and fill in the gaps, either with specific skills, or on their resume, and one of the biggest benefits is that you don't have to go and take two years off to get an MBA.  Tweetable Quotes: “Last year, when the global pandemic hit, it seemingly up-ended the American workplace almost overnight.”- Sheila Boysen – Rotelli “Micro-credentials allow us to represent a specific competency or a specific skill.” - Sheila Boysen – Rotelli “Micro-credentials give you the opportunity to really choose what you learn.” - Sheila Boysen – Rotelli “While still working and not putting your career on hold, you can go study a specific area of skill and achieve a micro-credential.” - Sheila Boysen – Rotelli “We're seeing a tonne of Micro-credentials in Business, Project Management, Digital Marketing, and Computer and Data Sciences; Micro-credentials are becoming huge in the education space.” - Sheila Boysen – Rotelli Resources Mentioned: Sheila Boysen-Rotelli: WebsitePodcast  

There are more than 650,000 different kinds of short-term credentials awarded across the U.S. These include certificate programs, boot camps and digital badges. But the value and quality of short-term credential programs vary from totally-worth-the-investment to, some might say, total-waste-of-money. And it's often hard for students and job-seekers to figure out whether and how much a given program will pay off. Support the show: https://support.laist.com/laistnav

For this Between the Chapters episode, Laura chats with Joyce Seitzinger about all things badged connected to Chapter 22: Digital Badges. In reflecting back to 2015, we have much to say about microcredential, open badges, and what it means to get digital street cred based on a certificate, credential, course, or training. We share how we have been working to upskill with professional credentials as the world of work is changing, and how higher ed might consider what it means to embed badges, training, or certifications related to the skills needed for employment. Maybe badging and credentials offer ways for colleges and universities to have an ongoing, lifelong relationship with learners? Or perhaps we need more partnerships across sectors of work and education?  I Can See Clearly Now - Covered by the #edtechukestra The first 20 hours -- how to learn anything | Josh Kaufman | TEDxCSU Academic Tribe The SAMR Model: A Powerful Model for Understanding Good Tech Integration Open Badges Australia and New Zealand (OBANZ) community; (not Obans) The Future of Jobs Report 2020 from the World Economic Forum 7 Things You Should Know About… Digital Badges Badges and Credentialing Micro-Credentials Digital, Verified and Less Open Closing the Skills Gap With Digital Badges Alternative Credentials: How Can Higher Education Organizations Leverage Open Badges?

Digital badges are a good example of how ed tech evolves when several other technologies, such as those that we have seen in this book, make the environment favourable for their implementation. Badges allow for a more fine-grained representation of skills and experience gained in formal education than a degree classification. In this, they are an extension of the desire of e-portfolios to surface skills and competencies that are useful to employers. Read by Deb Baff.Read the chapter online or view the book references.

Let's talk digital badges with the experts: Cate Tolnai and Jen Gibson! Badges can help us engage students (even remote learners). Learn what digital badges are, when to use them, and how to implement in your classroom. Access the show notes here.

Allowing students to earn badges in the A&P course provides motivation to master all the concepts and also provides granular documentation of learning beyond the transcripted course grade. Host Kevin Patton shares his experience, along with a discussion of skin color in teaching future health professionals and the use of refresher tests to get students ready for their A&P course. 00:00 | Quotation 00:46 | Refresher Tests 08:49 | Sponsored by AAA 10:13 | Black & Brown Skin 19:48 | Sponsored by HAPI 20:54 | Badges 1: Digital Micro-Credentials 29:06 | Sponsored by HAPS 30:07 | Badges 2: Gamification 38:11 | Staying Connected If you cannot see or activate the audio player click here.

Jon Foust joins Mark this week as we talk with Nandhini Rangan and Magda Jary about Cloud Learning Services. The Cloud Learning Services team is passionate about helping technical practitioners elevate their careers and transform businesses by building and validating in-demand Google Cloud skills. Nandhini explains that a lack of technical practitioners with skills in the cloud is one of the biggest barriers to entry for companies considering the shift. But with the right knowledge, companies that take full advantage of cloud environments are proven to be more efficient, reach more of their goals, and overall, be more successful. Cloud Learning Services offerings empower technical practitioners and companies to learn new skills, put these skills into practice, and achieve their objectives. Magda tells us that these training courses focus around job roles in the cloud. The cloud has necessitated a shift in the idea of development learning, she tells us, explaining that nowadays, the focus is on job roles, like Data Scientist, and the technological requirements of that job rather than learning one coding language. We talk later about the specific offerings Cloud Learning Services provides. With a focus on hands-on learning, technical practitioners are put into the real Google Cloud environment with Qwiklabs, while videos and lectures accompany the material. Job-specific skill badges and certifications are earned as courses are completed, allowing technical practitioners and employers to better understand what proficiency in each job role looks like. Our guests tell us more about Qwiklabs and how its sandbox environment facilitates better learning without the added cost and commitment of services that they may not be ready to use. When the time for real-world development comes, this hands-on approach means no disconnect between learning and applying. We talk more about the Challenge Labs used to test learning and the skill badges earned on completion. To wrap up, we discuss the future of Cloud Learning Services and how the team stays on top of new technologies and job roles to keep learning materials updated and fun. The team is working on new material for badging and certifying business professionals as well.

She is based in Canada and works out of Toronto. She started her career as a Software Engineer, went on and got her MBA and then spent many years in operations and strategy including a stint as a management consultant. Learning was always top of mind for her and she decided to make the jump to join a learning organization full time in 2018 with Google Cloud. She launched the Google Cloud Technical Residency program, worked in the Higher Education learning space bringing programs to faculty and students globally, and currently works as a learning portfolio manager helping bring cloud training content closer to its audiences. Magda Jary Magda Jary is responsible for all aspects of Google Cloud Certification and Digital Badges go-to market and her mission is to grow Cloud skill sets. She joined Google in 2008 after graduating with two Masters degrees: Media and Communications at Warsaw School of Economics and International Management at Rotterdam School of Management. Currently based in San Francisco, she has been leading global learning and engagement programs for Google Cloud customers and partners. Magda is a frequent guest speaker at events dedicated to skills development, diversity, and women in tech. She is a certified yoga teacher and has completed a mindfulness teacher certification.

I caught up with Vikas Sinha, Vice President, Global Customer Experience & Strategic Alliances for Broadcom’s Mainframe Software Division to talk about the latest news and trends, his role, and business unit, and the exciting new offering from Broadcom's Mainframe Software Division called "Win No Fee". We start out with a 30,000 food "point of view" outline of what the Win No Fee offering is, where it fits within Broadcom's overall strategy and products & services, and how customers have been taking it up to drive successful outcomes. Vikas also shares the latest news around what Broadcom is doing with their Digital Badges programme, and other skill-building/enhancing initiatives such as their Vitality programme, and other Education and Community building efforts. Also discussed is the broad topic of events and how 2020 has impacted that space, and what Vikas and his team and Broadcom Mainframe Division have been doing in response to the need to pivot and address the challenges brought about by the #COVID19 global pandemic, and of course the reality that we can't hold in-person physical events currently, we talk about how Broadcom is leveraging Digital and Social and has pivoted to Virtual events and the huge success they have had thus far in doing so. Vikas also shares great insights into what they are doing with Mainframe Technical Exchanges (MTE), what it is and why customers should attend, as well as our support/sponsorship in industry events like SHARE, OMP Summit, DOES, IDUG, etc. And as always I invite Vikas to share his views and thoughts around what he thinks is coming over the horizon in 12 to 18 months with some great advice and actionable key takeaways that CXOs from board room down and their teams throughout enterprise and government can action right now as they look to what 2021 and beyond might bring. Tune in now for all of these amazing topics and more. This podcast was made in partnership with Broadcom.

This week I want to take a look at digital badging as a tool for your academic tool chest. I have been around the concept of badging my whole life. Badging in the workplace and through volunteering has shaped my life. There is more to learning than what occurs in the classroom. Digital badging helps to capture learning that is not formally recognized through the formal transcript process. This week we are going to take a look at digital badges for an academic classroom. For part of that discussion, I am going to tell you about my experiences with badging. Come learn more.

Digital badges represent an innovative instructional strategy involving credentialing competencies to provide evidence for skill acquisition. This systematic review reveals pedagogical, research limitations, provides an evidence‐based foundation for designing, implementing digital badges.  Read the accompanying article to this podcast: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/medu.14060

Die wuseligen, geschäftigen und vollen Hallen der LEARNTEC 2020 in Karlsruhe wirken fast schon wie aus einer längst vergangenen Zeit. Einige der Gespräche die wir dort geführt haben mussten wegen aktueller Themen etwas im Wartemodus ausharren - sind aber nicht vergessen oder auf die lange Bank geschoben und haben schon gar nicht an Aktualität verloren. Christoph Haffner hatte dort das Glück, sich mit seiner Team-Kollegin Susann Schroeter über Digital Badges unterhalten zu können. Was ist das? Wofür sind sie gut? Wie setzt SAP sie ein und warum sind sie so erfolgreich und beliebt? Eine gute Digitale Lern-"Experience" erfordert natürlich auch ein digitales Zeugnis bzw. Zertifikat, mit dem man leicht in Social Media und im digitalen Lebenslauf den Nachweis für das erlernte teilen kann. Das ermöglichen Digital Badges. So knüpfen wir in gewisser Weise auch an das Thema der letzten Ausgabe unseres Podcasts mit Rudyard Hopkins an, mit dem wir auch darüber sprachen, was eine gute Lernerfahrung ausmacht. Wie immer freuen wir uns über Euer/Ihr Feedback auf LinkedIn oder Twitter!

In this episode I'm joined by two special guests and we're talking about a recent merger that may have gone unnoticed by many, but to me could be a tiny rumble before a tremendous shift that could rock education in a lot of ways. Here were some of the headlines:New Merger Wants to Create ‘WeWork for Education’ Via Digital Badges and Mini-CampusesNext for SNHU: Game-Based Learning and Digital Badges for Middle SchoolersSouthern New Hampshire University and LRNG Merge to Deploy Innovative Community-Based Education Strategy in Cities Across the U.S.My guests are two critical players leading education reform, research, and practice in this country. Dr. Kylie Peppler is an artist by training - Associate Professor of Learning Sciences at UC Irvine and engages in research that focuses on the intersection of arts, computational technologies and interest-driven learning. In addition to serving as the Director of the Creativity Labs at Irvine, Dr. Peppler is the Chief Learning Officer at Collective Shift/LRNG, the former lead of the MacArthur Foundation’s Make-to-Learn initiative, and a member of the 2016 and 2017 National Educational Technology Plan Committee, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. Peppler was on the original NSF-sponsored Scratch team during the initial design and early study of the Scratch platform. Since this time, she has specialized in studying e-textile design with the LilyPad Arduino.Connie Yowell is the visionary and CEO of Collective Shift, bringing considerable experience from the MacArthur Foundation where she oversaw a $150 million program on Digital Media and Learning.Prior to joining the Foundation, Connie was an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois, publishing scholarly work that examines the complex interplay among young people’s emerging identity, their social context and achievement. Connie briefly served as Policy Analyst in the U.S. Department of Education during the Clinton Administration, and has worked closely with teachers and administrators to develop programs for youth development.In 2004, Connie received the Distinguished Fellows Award from the William T. Grant Foundation, an award to support scholars seeking to bridge research and practice, under which she worked with the National Writing Project to develop approaches that integrate web 2.0 technologies into the social practices of teachers. Connie earned her bachelor’s degree from Yale, and her PhD from Stanford University.My thanks to Kylie and Connie for joining. You'll hear a change in audio on Connie's mic mid-way through the interview...we had some technical difficulties with our connection, but persevered. Whether you agree with me that their story could be a taste of new education paradigms to come, I hope you'll join me in cheering them on. We need all of the brains we can get iterating toward a future where learning is accessible, connected, counted for everyone.

There's a massive change in the way people are developing skills. David Leaser, Senior Executive of Strategic Growth Initiatives for IBM’s Training and Skills program, shared the story of IBM’s response to these shifts on episode 11 of the Learning and Development Stories Podcast. Stories David highlighted the development process of IBM’s Digital Badge Program. He explained that over the last few years it was evident that with the dramatic changes in the tech industry there was a need to rethink the way credentials were developed. A Digital Badge is a cross-industry digital recognition of technical skills that can be shared on your social and professional networking sites, as well as your digital signature. IBM is supporting this new program, based on open standards, through the creation of a wide variety of badges covering a multitude of technical and professional areas. IBM credentials are valued and recognized by the global IT industry. David explained that the Digital Badge Program was a way to keep everyone on the same page. “Jobs are much more hybrid than they were,” he said. “More marketing people need to know how to use social media analytics. Sales people need to know how to use CRM and other types of data tools. We also have this rise of the gig economy where at a company like IBM, we hire lots of contract workers. So how do you keep everybody on the same page? How do you provide a way to signal achievements and a way to take inventory of those skills and match people to the jobs that they need to do? So we started looking at digital badges.” They launched a successful pilot program that then led to the expansion of the digital badge program across the IBM company.  Tying learning to business objectives David talked about how the Digital Badge Program serves as both an internal and an external source of learning.  “We have a big ecosystem that has hundreds of thousands of employees. We have one hundred thousand or more business partners, we obviously have clients, and we have vendors and contract workers. We have to keep everybody on the same page. So, we made a decision to create joint governance for a lot of our programs. And one of them is the digital credential program.” A couple years ago IBM Chair, President, and CEO, Ginni Rometty put a stake in the ground and shifted the thought process around qualifications to work at a company like IBM. “It used to be in the old days, you had to go to the right school, you had to live in the right location, and you had to have the right skills,” David said. “But our Chairman changed that. You don't have to go to a certain type of school, and you don't have to live in a certain type of location. What we are concerned about is skills. Currently more than 1 million badges in all 195 countries have been issued. More than 500,000 people have earned digital badges already and it is roughly a 50/50 split between internal and external. “We've created a registry of skills that is incredibly valuable to IBM and our clients,” said David. “Because now our clients, if they're looking for somebody with IBM skills, they can find them.” Lessons from mistakes David explained that one of the initial mistakes he made was underestimating the amount of resistance there would be to doing something like creating the Digital Badge Program. “Our company is very innovative. We're always on the leading edge. But when you get down to the human level people are interested in how this going to impact them personally. And so, I think that early on, I probably didn't do a good enough job describing how this would personally benefit them. And I think that if you don't have a ‘what's in it for me message’ for everybody you talk to, it's going to shortchange you.” The link between training and employee engagement David shared how the program led to increased employee engagement. “We found that after we introduced the Badge Program, we not only got the increase in participation, but we also found that within one year, the average person had come back for their multiple badges.” David explained that survey results showed that 87% of combined employees and external clients wanted a deeper relationship with IBM because of the badge program. This is was an incredible engagement success story.  Communications tactics David explained that in order for the Digital Badge Program to work, it had to be essential to the company or else could get cut. David put together both an internal and external marketing plan to start getting in front of different groups and communicate the message of the program. He has seen that one of the most powerful strategies for communication is blogging. He believes in using the simple “infomercial blogging strategy” which starts with identifying the problem, showing an example of how it works, and then how you can get started.  “When I began this project, I was very focused on the marketing possibilities,” said Leaser. “The impact has been tremendous. The social media impressions from people sharing their badges have been enormous. We've increased your product trial downloads by 64% and have been able to demonstrate in different ways how the Digital Badge Program is increasing IBM’s brand visibility.” Leaser points out that he works in direct contact with IBM’s corporate marketing communications team in a number of different ways, including the dissemination of the Digital Badge Program story. “IBM has some very big stories to tell,” he explained. “Sometimes our stories don't rise to that level. But we tell them our stories, and they often find a place to insert it into a bigger story.” Resources Tool every L&D professional should leverage: David recommends signing up for Google Alerts as a way to stay up to date with the industry. “I'd say the number one thing I do to stay up on the industry is reading the Google alerts that come in every day,” he said. He also shared that he also believes strongly in going to industry conferences including like ATD and DevLearn. Learn more about the IBM Digital Badge Program and connect with David on LinkedIn.

Certified skills are a valuable form of academic and professional capital. In this edition of the NMC Beyond the Horizon virtual event series, we will explore the use of digital open badges. These portable machine-readable credentials can verify the mastery of competencies demonstrated across the learning experience while connecting learners to new opportunities and workforce demand. The panelists draw on experience supporting a range of institutions in developing digital credential badge programs that verify achievements in competency-based education degree programs, open online courses, cross-curricular literacies, co- and extra-curricular activities, student affairs, and faculty development — among other areas. This online program considers topics including new ways of thinking about assessing skills as well as how digital credentials can inform new programs and strengthen relationships.

Leading Learning: Badges, badges, badges. Fun, motivation, excitement. Ok, you get the point. Badges are a time tested (think like for 10,000 ago or more) method to bring out full achievement in students and adults. Everybody loves to receive recognition for things they have done. The communication revolution (thanks Internet) means we can both give and display badges on a grander scale than ever before. My school is currently in a beta test stage for using badges with students and we would like to share our experiences so far. This workshop will cover some of the ins and outs of using badges in and outside of the classroom. Specifically: How it works, Using Mozilla’s Open Badges Program, How to issue badges, How to display badges, Badge use cases, Setting up systems at your school to enable effective badge distribution.
