Purdue Veterinary Medicine has designed a digital badge
system to challenge Kindergarten through high school students to earn digital
badges as they learn about veterinary medicine. The PVM Digital Badge system is
open to any K-12 student. Youth engage with veterinary medical content online
or at PVM events, and then take a short (usually multiple choice) quiz for the
chance to earn their badge. This looks the start of a second wave of new
projects using digital badge beyond the DML Badges
for Lifelong Learning. I am particularly curious about their assessment
practices in light of what I learned studying the assessment practices across
the 30 DML awardees. Plus with its
campus-wide Passport
badging system, Purdue really
seems out in front of other universities when it comes to digital badges.
