  4. Learning Objectives • Recall the minimum technology to launch a digital badges program • Analyze your campus’ digital learning infrastructure • Discuss effective learning object design for issuing badges Slides: jlindsayoneill.com/digitalbadges

  5. Golden ruleTo be effective, badges need to be meaningful • Answer these questions when designing a badge: • What does this badge prove? Who will care?

  6. Golden ruleTo be effective, badges need to be meaningful • Effective and meaningful badges: • Recognize an accomplishment

  7. Golden ruleTo be effective, badges need to be meaningful • Ineffective and meaningless badges: • Reward learners just for showing up

  8. Get Ready to Respond We’ll use Kahoot! for a survey and terminology overview.

  9. Spark Tutorials

  10. Spark Tutorials Structure

  11. Spark Tutorials Technology • Learning Object Development • Software: Articulate Storyline 2 • Tutorials packaged as SCORM • LMS: Moodle • Badges module added onto Moodle • IT set up Mozilla Backpack server (to manage badges) • SCORM packages embedded into course • Badges set up to issue for 100% score on tutorials

  12. SCORM Defined “SCORM is a set of technical standards for e-learning software products. SCORM tells programmers how to write their code so that it can ‘play well’ with other e-learning software.” From http://scorm.com/scorm-explained/

  22. Badge Issuing Platforms • Use your campus LMS if it issues badges (Free) • Ideal, because this is where your learners already are

  24. Badge Issuing Platforms • Use a WordPress.org site with Badge OS plugin and LearnDash (Pay) • Cheap-ish, and it’s possible you already use WordPress for campus website

  29. University of Central Florida Program Design • Start with the big picture • Badge programs should be: • Hierarchical • Organized • Badge art should convey meaning Spark Tutorials

  30. Chunk your Learning Activities • Tutorials of 15 minutes or less to earn low-level badge • Higher-level badges might take more time – but be conscientious of time to completion

  31. An Effective program uses the BACKWARD DESIGN model

  32. Backward Design

  33. Order of Learning Activities

  34. POLL Lower-level badges work great when they take no more than ______ of work.
