During this two-week seminar we will explore digital badges from concept through to implementation. The seminar will focus on the possible pedagogies and technology required for implementing digital badges. We will also take a critical look at the current state of digital badges with discussion of the required and possible futures. If you have a few hours to read and discuss focused topics and participate in two mid-day webinars then please join is this lively learning experience focused on digital badges.

This the first in a 2-part webinar series on Digital Badges, facilitated by Peter Rawsthorne as part of a 2-week seminar discussion at SCoPE http://scope.bccampus.ca/mod/forum/view.php?id=9010

This page provides access to "a practitioner-oriented summary of the book [Digital Habitats] that you can download for free. It is couched as an "action notebook" in the sense that it summarizes dozens of practical steps you can take to support your community" (Action Notebook, ¶1, 2011.06.16).

I aspired to create a really simple badge system design so a beginner could implement open badges. I had the following restraints to this implementation; creating the badge images needed to be really simple, and saved as .png files. the badge system design was to be a basic hierarchy where three micro-badges lead to a badge. the tasks to earn each badge were to be simple. the badges needed to be hosted and issued from one of the free services currentlly available. the badges had to easily move over to the Mozilla digital backpack for organization and display.

A nice overview of the SCoPE seminar, and some highlights and reflections on the first webinar. 

As my digital badges seminar series came to an end I was doing a lot of thinking about badge clustering and what I meant by the term. With a little creative thinking, and some fun, I borrowed and edited three clustering terms and applied them to badges.
