Noah, I was able to Google some of the projects that Dr. Lescauskiene, but I was unable to locate anything specific to "these kinds of badges can have really great value to marketing, socializing and promoting badge implementation on campus." However, I'd be keep to read or listen to anything that ...

We were faced with the same issue as I developed out the guidelines around our own micro-credential program. In the end we decided to include the following language: Touro University supports six different tiers of badges and/or micro-credentials. Micro-Credentials@Touro does not preclude faculty from ...

Kelly, I saw your email and yes it seems you did follow-up at the time. I had neglected to thank Noah in the forum (much thanks Noah), which is why I didn't think to go checking through my different inboxes. Appreciate the quick follow-up and apologize for the repetition of your efforts. MKB ...

For folks that have a formal office or unit attached to micro-credentials, so that they have a formal lead (i.e., coordinator, director, dean, whatever)... Do you have a job description for your [lead] of micro-credentials? If so, can you share it with us? MKB ------------------------------ ...

Interesting... Just for one my sanity, if the non-credit is based on a for credit offering I use the for credit offering with a -0 at the end (to indicate 0 credits). The others I have just decided to use descriptive terms for naming conventions. ------------------------------ Michael Barbour ...

Course Naming Practices

Colleagues, For our credit bearing offerings, most universities have specific labels for those. For example, an introduction course in education might be EDUC-100 or EDU-100. Within our SIS and our LMS, we might incorporate that course code into the naming convention. However, much of our badging ...

Colleagues, As my own institution is working away at the challenge of creating badging and micro-credential programs, I've been asked to help put together a short presentation around the question... What is the potential / demand for microcredentials? I'm wondering if any of you have any ...

Kent, interestingly enough we have been exploring the use of Catalog for our non-credit offerings too.

We are using Badgr Pro (Canvas Credential). We chose them largely due to the fact that when we first implemented Canvas as our LMS (it is only less than five years ago that we transitioned from Blackboard to Canvas) we integrated the LTI for the free Badgr program. So when we looked to our more formal ...

Ahhh... I finally get a chance to contribute and not just ask questions... Lea, we've done it a couple of ways. So our setup is (or will be soon) Banner, Canvas LMS, Badgr Pro (becoming Canvas Credential), and Canvas Catalog (this is he one we're getting in July, so we don't have it yet). So ...
