New Collaboration with Badge List
by James Willis and Daniel Hickey
In our continuing efforts to help facilitate open digital badges in higher education, we are looking forward to expanding our set of collaborators to include Badge List. We met with Benjamin Roome, one of the co-founders, to establish how we might coordinate our efforts. Our initial goal is working towards an API to integrate with the learning management system, Canvas, in time for courses this summer

The OBHE Project is Seeking Collaborators
By Daniel Hickey
I am on my way to the Summit for Online Leadership and Strategy in San Antonio. This event is hosted by UPCEA (University Professional and Continuing Education Association) and the American Council on Education. Lawrence Ragan is chairing a panel discussion on open digital badges. Mike Palmquist from Colorado State and Jason Fish from Purdue are on the panel and that should be a big draw as they are doing really interesting stuff.
I was happy to be invited because I think that the Summit will be a good place to find potential collaborators for the new Open Badges in Higher Education project. As I elaborate below, my team is funded for two years to support people who are getting innovative badge systems operational in higher education. We can offer quite a bit in terms of getting systems up and running, and documenting progress and projects in our open case library.
