3. Open Recognition Framework
The aim of MIRVA, is to study the conditions of an Informal Recognition environment
through the exploration of:
• The potential benefits of Open Endorsement as proposed by the Open
Badge 2.0 specification;
• The conditions (technical, educational, political, etc.) for the successful
implementation of Open Endorsement;
• The services that could emerge from the information generated through Open
Endorsement;
• The mitigation of the risks of poor endorsements practices (e.g. LinkedIn!);
• The conditions for creation of an effective continuum between informal and formal
recognition;

Open Badges 2.0 specification:

8. Informal
The informal space is the open space
not yet colonised by the formal space
issued formally recognised informally
issued informally recognised formally (RPL)
Formal
Without informal recognition, any formal recognition would be worthless!

9. Informal learning is not an inferior
form of learning, it is learning
Informal recognition is not an inferior
form of recognition, it is recognition

10. Informal learning is not an inferior
form of learning, it is learning
Informal recognition is not an inferior
form of learning, it is recognition
I learn
I recognise
therefore

11. Are we condemned to remain
agents in search of recognition?
Can’t we also be recognised
as recognisant agents?
