Book Review

Muilenburg and Berge lay out a pathway through the debates that have animated the digital badge community since the release of the Open Badges standard in 2012. This collection shows badge systems that can transform how learning achievements are understood across a wider variety of experiences than before the standard. The consequences for motivation, curricular design and connected learning are explored here, and examples are given of 2012-16 best practices.
