How 1EdTech Members Power Learner Potential
The Open University (UK) was created to offer higher education to all with no barriers to entry, and the idea of open standards fits in perfectly with that mission. That’s why The Open University is proud to be part of the community that helped create and now uses the 1EdTech Open Badges standard for its free OpenLearn courses as a microcredential offering to learners. Open Badges are a major draw for learners looking to start a new or grow in their current careers, and as part of the 1EdTech community, The Open University can ensure the needs of their learners are considered as the technology evolves. The standard is not only open, providing more mobility, but also allows for valuable and verifiable data that can be used to connect those learners to future careers.
“Badges are a great motivator for learners to complete a course of study, but I don’t think many of them even know the power Open Badges offer. The technical work and information held in the badge have the potential to connect them to new opportunities. It’s so much more than other achievements on a resume or LinkedIn.”
