If you have a badge for a particular set of competencies, individuals can put evidence from a current course or from a prior course or work experience (by inserting hyperlinks to web-enabled artifacts) in the evidence field. <br /><br />Then there is a separate step where somebody (likely but not necessarily the instructor) approves that evidence (either by triggering the badge issuing or by endorsing it after the badge url gets stacked into an LMS. If the evidence is from a current course, it would likely be routinely approved. If the evidence is from some other activity the instructor would like interrogate it more deeply.<br /><br />The important thing is that the badges serve several important functions. (a) the instructor and peers can give informal feedback for improvement before the earner requests formal approval. (b) the badges give both the instructor and the earn example of what kinds of evidence meet that criteria. (c) the badges give an easy way for the earner to share out their accomplishment. <br /><br />they key thing about this solution is that the PLA works more easily within the existing system.Daniel Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885916528215868949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778608909198518776.post-54364900546661885452015-07-01T13:16:52.751-04:002015-07-01T13:16:52.751-04:00Thanks for this post!

One place this takes my mind: a learner who has earned credentials - the evidences of which she believes speak to meeting the criteria for a course's competencies - could display her credentials as a sort of portfolio to present for a Prior Learning Assessment that results in her getting credit for the course. Am I way off here?SenorGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138593719409113809noreply@blogger.com
