Digital Badges as an Open Passport for Learning

 

Kyle Bowen

Speaker: Kyle Bowen, Director of Informatics, Purdue University
Date: January 7, 2013
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET (UTC-5); convert to your time zone here.
Duration: 1 hour

 

As we continue to reshape the form and method of instruction, it is increasingly important to recognize learning in all of its dimensions. Institutions have historically used "credit" as a blunt instrument to recognize course completion. Digital badges provide a new way to visually represent learning, achievements, skills, interests, or competencies that are linked to evidence of students' work. Purdue University recently launched Passport as a way to engage students and provide a new means of assessing learning. In this webinar, Kyle Bowen will explore the key concepts and lessons learned around Purdue's badge initiative and future directions for the technology.
