Digital Badging (Part 1 of a 3-Part Webinar)

Tuesday, August 26, 2014
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI)

Have you heard the hubbub about digital badging? Wonder how it might apply to higher ed generally and to Duke specifically? Join the Duke Digital Initiative (DDI) as we participate in a 3-part webinar presented by the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). Digital badges are ways to show evidence of acquired skills and knowledge. Museums, associations, online communities, and others are now issuing badges for achievements gained through sponsored activities. What does this mean for higher ed? From MOOCs to faculty development to new ways of structuring academic programs and courses or just recognizing skills, there's much for us to consider about potential uses of digital badges at Duke. NOTE: Participants will be asked to complete assignments in between the course segments that support the learning objectives. See http://www.educause.edu/eli/events/eli-short-course-digging-into-badges for more detail on the learning objectives and for a short list of resources about digital badging. Parts 2 and 3 are on September 9 and 16.
