Badging For Learning in Libraries

Thursday, January 24, 2013 3:30-4:30

Collecting online badges as signs of acquired skills or new learnings is
an emerging concept in both formal and informal learning environments.
Cloth badges defined scouting and gave scouts a way of displaying their
skills (via sashes, kerchiefs, or vests). How can moving that practice
online -- and creating digital backpacks with digital badges that also
demonstrate new skills and abilities -- transform learning? How can the
microcredentialing aspect of digital badging help to capture skills that
are not reflected on formal academic transcripts? How can librarians use
badges to empower informal learning in powerful ways that transcend
current practice and empower patrons, colleagues, and students? The
presenters, a team from the University of Michigan School of Information
who badged October's OELMA conference, will share an overview of digital
badging, discuss how badging can move beyond extrinsic motivation and
into a meaningful representation of skills, and share tips for effective
practice.
