re-mediating assessment: Digital Badges as "Transformative Assessment" - 3 views

  • To keep this discussion from getting too complicated, I have so far only focused on evaluating summative and formative learning outcomes.  Things gets a lot more complicated when considering the how assessing learning with badges might be used to transform existing ecosystems or create new ones.  This is because the “learning” associated with transformative assessment defies conventional characterizations of learning.  The learning associated with transformative outcomes is really systemic change.  Such learning is highly contextualized within the social and technological practices that collectively define a specific learning ecosystem.

Seven Skills Students Need for Their Future - 1 views

  •  
    1. Critical thinking and problem-solving 2. Collaboration across networks and leading by influence 3. Agility and adaptability 4. Initiative and entrepreneurialism 5. Effective oral and written communication 6. Accessing and analyzing information 7. Curiosity and imagination Someone makes a point in the comments. "Dr. Wagner states that "we have no idea how to teach or assess these skills." How about the idea of 'letting learners watch someone already possessing these skills, exercise these skills'....what happens if teachers can act like students - 'showing them how to gain the knowledge, using resources made available, from someone who possesses the knowledge already', rather than attempting to teach such knowledge.
