8. How to realize the automation process by
simultaneously maintaining simplicity in
managing and earning open badges in
MOOC platforms?
9. Why Badges?
• Hard to motivate learners to actively participate
in non-formal and informal educational systems if
they do not get any recognition for their
achievements
• Mostly no recognition at all for gained skills if a
course has not been completed (just summative
feedback)
• No common standard for acknowledgements
• Certificates are not digitially signed
16. Features
• Badge management via backend
• Assert badges manually
• Assert badges automatically - triggered by the
iMooX user
• Display rudimentary awarding statistics
• Support of two different types of badges (Quiz-
Level Badge, Course-Level Badge)
31. Badge issuing can be implemented
relatively fast and easy and improve the
certification performance of
MOOC platforms
