Thing 2

Welcome to my second post! This post is about open badges, Thing 2 of the SSSC 23 Things Challenge.

 

So what are open badges? Open badges are digital certificates, which recognise not only your learning and achievements but also your ability to reflect on your new knowledge, skills and their application. There are open badges in many categories and from many issuers, giving you numerous opportunities for independent learning. To complete an open badge, you just need to complete its clearly displayed criteria and write a short blog post reflecting on the tasks completed. The beauty of open badges is they allow you to take control of the subject and pace of your learning.

 

No one institution can ever fully prepare you for a career, things change, and we need to be able to adapt to meet future demands. Open badges give you the opportunity to supplement your core knowledge with further learning, experiences and professional development, making you a more flexible and resilient employee and member of society.
