Imagining a Mozilla-Wide Open Badges System + OBI 101

Location:

Brussels: Studio 313/315

Toronto: Conference F on the Mezzanine Level

Santa Clara: Prospector B

Track: Product and Technology

Working Narrative:

The Open Badges Infrastructure makes learning and credentialing work like the Web. Through digital badges, we can build an ecosystem of open learning with stackable, information-based credentials. Open Badges can be used for recognizing and communicating skills and achievements, building reputation and community, and finding peers and hires.

In this session, we'll provide a brief badges 101 and then explore the opportunity for Mozilla badges for the global community of Mozillians. Together we'll ask: What badges would prove compelling to contributors, staff and community members? What needs to be built and provided to support this large, cohesive system? What are immediate next steps for making these badges real and recognizable? Is now the right time for a Mozilla-wide badge system?

Facilitators:

How do we scale up our innovation capacity?

Location:

If we're to have the kind of massive impact on the internet that we hope to, we have to ask ourselves whether our structure and processes will get us there. If we want to facilitate innovation at the edges and focus on recognizing good ideas rather than having them, how should we relate to web innovators around the world?
