Gamification in Education – facilitated by Barry Peddycord from NCState
Scoop.it!
Sheryl Grant from HASTAC recently posted a detailed summary of resources about uses of digital badges in higher education.[1] It was a very timely post for me as I had been asked to draft just such a brief by an administrator at Indiana University where I work. Sheryl is the director of social networking for the MacArthur/Gates Badges for Lifelong Learning initiative. Her job leaves her uniquely knowledgeable about the explosive growth of digital badges in many settings, including colleges and universities. In this post, I want to explore one of the issues that Sheryl raised about the ways badges are being introduced in higher education, particularly as it relates to Indiana’s Universities.

Digital badges are a validated indicator of accomplishment, skill, quality or interest that can be earned in various learning environments.[1]Mozilla Open Badges allow organizations to create, issue, earn and display digital badges on members’ websites, social media pages, and resumes.[2] Traditional physical badges have been used for many years by various organizations such as the United States Army[3] and the Boy Scouts of America[4] to give members a physical emblem to display the accomplishment of various achievements. While physical badges have been in use for hundreds of years, the idea of digital badges is a relatively recent development drawn from research into gamification.[citation needed] As game elements, badges have been used by organizations such as Foursquare and Huffington Post to reward users for accomplishing certain tasks.[5] In 2005, Microsoft introduced the Xbox’ 360 Gamerscore system, which is considered to be the original implementation of an achievement system.

Stimulating and Supporting Innovation in Learning
The image above is of a Jisc RSC Scotland Digital Leadership Open Badge, awarded to those who attended the Assessment Summit 2013. The Assessment Summit brought together individuals leading the assessment agenda in colleges and universities across Scotland, with the key agencies supporting assessment, to discuss future strategic priorities. The aim of the event was to highlight how considering assessment in terms of the whole institution, can enhance the learner journey and enable efficiencies. The event demonstrated how this can be achieved through presentations focusing on streamlining assessment data flow and processes and embedding effective assessment practices within the curriculum to help equip students with the skills they need to become more self-regulating and in control of their own learning.

Integrate OpenBadges in Blackboard Learn to allow faculty to display student badges from mozilla backpack, allow faculty create new badges in courses, allow students claim badges. A student photo roster will accompany this project, so the facutly can preview not only the faces of students, but badges earned in other classes. This will help faculty to get to know students prior to start of a class and to track their progress in the learning networks outside of the classroom.

Abstract
Scoop.it!
Abstract This expanded version of the 2007 Presidential Address for the American Educational Research Association approaches changes in assessment and accountability from the perspective of achieving balance. The author identifies unresolved conceptual and practical issues in the use of assessment in the schools and describes approaches intended to mitigate problems or improve practice. An example is given from formative assessment research that integrates some of these approaches (Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing, at the University of California, Los Angeles). International examples of performance and assessment are also reviewed. The author suggests that secondary school assessment be modified to focus students on acquiring concrete Qualifications that certify important accomplishments, with a wide choice of Qualification areas. She argues that using concrete accomplishments and restructuring tests will help schools and their students to regain needed balance.
