Digital Badges in Education – Trends, Issues and Cases

This book explores learning design, assessment, and concrete cases in various contexts (schools, colleges and universities) as they relate to badges. It looks at the necessary components of badging systems, their functions and value, and the possible problems they give rise to. Comprehensive in scope, it is a solid introduction to this rapidly developing practice and is ideal for administrators - it makes clear what works, hasn't worked and could work.
