Investigating new ways to credentialize learning

With the upcoming release of Mozilla’s Open Badges framework this group is an opportunity for educators and interested parties to discuss the various ways such badges could be used in educational contexts.

Proposed: Semester of Learning: Open Badges and assessment | dougbelshaw.com/blog and organised by Doug @dajbelshaw this course has a ton of interesting information and links about using Open Badges in education. Weekly (Saturday 8pm! I am not going to make that, but I am enjoying following up lots of stuff including:

• weekly chat archive
• The signup page for the course has some great comments & links
• Badges – MozillaWiki the 1st week reading list

etc!
I wonder if anyone at Glow Futures is following this? Could be interesting integrating this with the developing glow e-portfolios.
