Implementing Open Badges in your organisation
This Open Badge is awarded to people who attend a Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) webinar or session about issuing Open Badges and tell us how they applied what they learned.
This Open Badge is no longer available.
Participants in the webinars and sessions will learn how to get started as an Open Badge issuer. They’ll find out what opportunities there are to use badges, the technology needed and how to make sure badges work for their learners.
The webinars and sessions explore:
- the opportunities for Open Badges, where you might use them and why
- the websites and software that allow you to issue Open Badges
- how to get involved in SSSC Open Badges.
To earn this badge you will need to:
- watch the video presentation about using Open Badges in your organisation or take part in a session about issuing Open Badges
- tell us about something you learned during the webinar or session
- tell us how you plan to share your learning and promote Open Badges.
None. This badge does not require you to hold any other badges.
You will need to provide a statement, of about 100 words, about what you learned at the webinar/session and how you will use this to support your development and that of others.
If you want to use a blog or ePortfolio entry as evidence, you might find our guide to preparing and publishing your evidence useful. We will also accept short audio or video statements if you prefer these formats.
Remember, the evidence you provide will be viewable by anyone who you show your badge to. Please don’t include confidential or private information within your statement.
