Open Badges for Employee Skill Tracking
Kyle Clements; Sam Jackson; Richard E West
International Journal of Designs for Learning, v11 n2 p1-8 2020
This case explores the creation of an open badge student-employee training program. Utilizing competency-based learning, we created nearly 40 digital credentials for technical skills related to various software products. We specifically share the decisions we made related to the process of defining competencies, formatting badge criteria, and building a flexible learning system. We also discuss various challenges, including how we motivated employees to participate in the program and unforeseen challenges related to selecting a badge issuing tool.
