The First International Workshop on Open Badges in Education (OBIE 2014) Chairs' Message

摘要

The concept and technology of Open Badges (OBs) have emerged from a collaborative effort of MacArthur Foundation, HASTAC and Mozilla Learning team, and have continued to progress as a community effort aimed at introducing novel means and practices for knowledge/skill assessment, recognition, and creden-tialing. Along the way, OBs are also promoting values such as openness and learners' agency, as well as participatory learning practices and peer-learning communities.
