dc.description.abstract | Open Badges is an open source code concept developed by the Mozilla Foundation to identify the
learner's knowledge and skills and to display them in a modern way. Although the concept was
originally meant to display informal learning, it can also be applied to formal education. Indicating
competences electronically makes it possible to display competences for which traditional certificates
are unsuitable. It also enables completely new features such as a restricted validity period for a
certificate. The Open Badge concept also can make education marketing more effective, and it might
be thought as a future solution for identifying competences acquired earlier when moving from one
study level to another. The Master Studies in Mathematical Information Technology at the Kokkola
University Consortium Chydenius participates in the Open Badge Factory project consortium launched
in 2014. The consortium is developing an application that will enable the creation, management and
issuance of skill badges in accordance with the Open Badge concept. The consortium is also piloting
the application and the Open Badge concept in connection with higher education. This paper briefly
describes the Open Badge concept and introduces the OBF project consortium. Above all, the paper
highlights the observations and challenges that emerged in piloting that took place in a higher
education institution. | |
