Knowledge, Learning, Community

This post argues that people in the open learning community should use open badges. The authors write, "Community responses are instrumental in pushing back against creeping commercialisation of education, it is vital that we pay attention to how such shared effort in technology is used. One way to ensure that our voices are heard is to occupy the open badges space." It's worth comparing this perspective with some of the other perspectives on microcredentials from this week, especially those arguing that they should be managed and regulated. You can be sure that the list thing administrators will want to do is 'keep badges weird'.
