he results of the analysis revealed that students engaged in two processes for constructing professional identity while creating their portfolios: an “external” sense-making process that involved new understandings about themselves

Participants employing the internal frame of reference submitted responses that revealed six processes underlying professional identity construction: reframing events in their personal history and increasing the relevance of these events to participants’ development as engineers, defining themselves as engineers and claiming membership in the field of engineering, constructing their future trajectories toward becoming professional engineers, realizing and articulating their own values as engineers, defining their interpretation of engineering practice, and developing their abilities to construct narratives about themselves.

"Haz preguntas sobre los procesos de aprendizaje y las estrategias de cada participante. Fomenta la autoreflexión. Analiza las propias suposiciones y cómo pueden influir en el aprendizaje. Fomenta el aprender a generar sus propias preguntas y a responderlas para mejorar la comprensión. Promueve el aprendizaje autónomo. Procura mentores a los aprendices. Resuelve problemas en equipo. Piensa en voz alta.

I have been trying to figure out how existing research literature on assessment, accountability, and validity is (and is not) relevant to the funded and unfunded badge development proposals. In particular I want to explore whether distinctions that are widely held in the assessment community can help show some of the concerns that people have raised about badges (nicely captured at David Theo Goldberg’s “Threading the Needle…” DML post). Greg’s inspiration resulted in six pages, which I managed to trim (!) back to the following with a focus on badges. (An abbreviated version is posted at the HASTAC blog)

Use badges to show what somebody has done or might be able to do. This seems like the goal of badges in the Badgework for Vets and 4-H Robotics proposals.

Use badges to transform or even create learning systems. This is what badges have accomplished in Stackoverflow and seems like the goal of badges in the MOUSE Wins! and Pathways for Lifelong Learning proposals.

With badges as assessment, or, more to the point, as a form of alternative assessment, badges exist within a network of other alternative assessment models, such as digital transcripts and ePortfolios.

; all I can do is see the outcomes in the students’ understanding and behaviour – but a belief in a connectivist approach means that I cannot see myself as responsible for their understandings – this lies within the network and their connections. My role is to recognise this and contribute to the network connections.

Excelente entrevista publicada hace poco en el canal del Observatorio Scopeo en YouTube con el catedrático de la UNED, profesor Germán Ruipérez, director del curso de e-learning de la cátedra Toledo. Duración: 14:45.

A disruptive innovation is an innovation that disrupts an existing market. The term was coined by Clayton Christensen as "disruptive technology" in 1995. Christensen said "generally, disruptive innovations were technologically straightforward, consisting of off-the-shelf components put together in a product architecture that was often simpler than prior approaches.

he OpenLearn platform was developed using Moodle, an open-source Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) platform. The self study multimedia learning material taken from its courses are provided online for free, for anyone to study at any pace anywhere in the world. The study units span 12 topic areas and there are 6000 hours of learning ranging from introductory, through to undergraduate and postgraduate level. Study units are open to everyone, include self-assessment and can be printed or downloaded in several formats to adapt and reuse under a Creative Commons license.
