Presenter(s): Jonathan Finkelstein, Founder and Executive Producer of LearningTimes and Director of the BadgeStack Project
Description: In this session, we will explore the latest thinking around the use of Digital Badges as an engagement strategy and as a form of microcredential or certification. Finkelstein will share examples of new educational programs and online communities that leverage digital badges to build ongoing relationships with learners, foster deeper engagement, and acknowledge learning that often goes unrewarded or unrecognized. We’ll look at how higher education and libraries can leverage the benefits of microcredentials.
