We are excited to invite you to take part in a significant initiative centered around the creation of a quality label for open badges.
﻿
Open badges have emerged as invaluable tools for acknowledging and validating learning achievements in non-formal environments, providing individuals with tangible evidence of their experiences, skills and competencies. As we strive to ensure the credibility and efficacy of open badge programs, it is essential to gather input from a diverse group of stakeholders representing various perspectives and areas of expertise.
﻿
Your insights, expertise and contributions would be invaluable to this process. We are reaching out to stakeholders from a wide spectrum, including:
Badge issuers: Individuals or organizations responsible for designing and issuing open badges.
Badge earners: Individuals who have earned open badges and can offer insights into their experiences and preferences.
Educators: Professionals involved in designing and delivering non-formal learning programs and curricula.
Employers: Representatives from businesses and organizations interested in using open badges for talent acquisition and workforce development.
Policymakers: Individuals involved in shaping education and workforce policies at local, regional, or national levels.
Subject matter experts: Professionals with expertise in areas relevant to open badges, such as learning theory and assessment methodologies.
﻿
The collaborative efforts of this diverse group will play an important role in shaping the criteria and standards for the quality label, ensuring that it reflects the needs and priorities of the broader community.
﻿
We will be hosting an online meeting to kick off this initiative, where we will provide an overview of the project, share key objectives, and facilitate interactive discussions to gather input and feedback from participants. Your participation and expertise will be valued during this session.
