4. “DIGITAL BADGES ARE PARTICULARLY RELEVANT TO OUR
CHANGING WORLD BECAUSE THEY OPEN UP OUR CURRENT
SYSTEM OF RATING AND RANKING TO MORE NUANCED LEVELS
OF UNDERSTANDING, AND ALLOW A MORE EVIDENCE-BASED
OR PERSONALIZED ANALYSIS OF LEARNING THAN
TRADITIONAL CREDENTIALS PROVIDE” (GRANT, 2014, P.11).
SherylGrant, 2015
WARRANTING EVIDENCE

5. “THE VARIOUS FIELDS OF DATA IN THE BADGES CAN MAKE THE ARTIFACTS IN
THE PORTFOLIOS MUCHMORE MEANINGFUL. BADGES CONTAIN SPECIFIC
CLAIMS, EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THOSE CLAIMS, AND LINKS TO MORE
EVIDENCE (I.E.,., ARTIFACTS IN PORTFOLIOS). BUT THEY ALSO CONTAIN
INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN AND WHERE THOSE ARTIFACTS WERE CREATED.
THIS ADDRESSES A MASSIVE VALIDITY CHALLENGE FOR PORTFOLIOS AS
EVIDENCE OF COMPETENCES: WITHOUTINFORMATIONTHE CONTEXT OF
CREATION, YOUCAN'T EVALUATE THE PORTFOLIO AS EVIDENCE OF MUCH OF
ANYTHING”.

6. IF DIGITAL BADGES ARE GOING TO BE EVIDENCE-
BASED AND TRANSFERABLE… THE EPORTFOLIO
PLATFORM IS BEST OPTIMIZED TO DELIVER THAT
EVIDENCE AND PROVIDE A LOGICAL SPACE TO
SHOWCASE THE BADGE.

AS CONSTRUCTION BLOCS OF A SIMPLE PORTFOLIO INSTEAD OF WRITING
STORIES ABOUT LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THAT ONLY A
FEW WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TO READ?” ERIC ROUSSELLE

DESIGNING BADGE CLAIMS
▸ A badge claim is an application of
evidence to demonstrate
competency, achievement, skill or
experience to a badge issuer.
Making a claim for evidence of
award can be done in a number of
ways, for instance a claim may be
made in formal or informal
learning spaces against a designed
set of criteria on a rubric or self
issued with claims of evidence that
are endorsed by key stakeholders.

14. WARRANTING EVIDENCE
▸ CURATING PORTFOLIO ARTEFACTS AND EVIDENCE FOR BADGE CLAIMS
▸ Curation is an action. “A curator is a planner, designer,
creator and maker of and in spaces that represent a genre,
theme, narrative, story, life and invite discourse as they
direct an audience for a purpose” (Coleman, 2015).
▸ The act of self-curation in a portfolio entails selecting
artefacts that reflect this common purpose, dependent on
the context, theme or aim and presenting it for an
audience such as an assessor, employer or for the self.

15. WARRANTING EVIDENCE
WHEN APPLIED TO DIGITAL BADGES AND BADGE
CLAIMS, PORTFOLIOS ENABLE A LEARNER TO:
▸ Display digital and open badges as artefacts
curated in a collection.
▸ Represent pathways,incentives and recognition of
waypoints in the learning journey and narrative.
▸ Make explicit connections between learning
experiences over time.
▸ Have evidence validated,endorsed and verified.
▸ Be recognised and verified for evidence,both
direct and indirect.
▸ Receive credit for gaining and developing self
efficacy, self-evaluation and metacognition.
▸ Evidence competencies, skills, achievements and
knowledge for a credential.

EARNERS TO CONTEXTUALISE, INTEGRATE AND APPLY THEIR
LEARNING IN FORMAL AND INFORMAL EXPERIENCES:
