However, the processes and structures required to issue and\u00a0value badges may not be as\u00a0compatible with such scaling. What are the factors that limit and enable\u00a0their\u00a0use at scale?\u00a0 How can we better understand the\u00a0application\u00a0of digital badges in the digital and actual contexts in which they are employed? How can we strategically and practically exploit the constructive disruption that digital badges can\u00a0cause\u00a0to create a productive dissonance? In this\u00a0presentation I will draw on emerging research from work undertaken with colleagues Freda Wolfenden and Lina\u00a0Adinolfi\u00a0and in collaboration with TISS, India.\u00a0This work has focused on\u00a0online\u00a0Teacher Professional Development\u00a0(TPD)\u00a0including, most recently, a multi-badge trial\u00a0with\u00a0teachers from\u00a0over 200 schools in Assam, India. Our mixed methods approach has been designed to help answer a range of research questions: from factor analysis of survey data to\u00a0look beyond the intrinsic-extrinsic motivation dichotomy to in-depth interviews conducted by local language speakers to understand how badges may be valued and shared. As an outcome of this research and engagement with state and national stakeholders, teachers and teacher educations, I will share our conceptualisation &#8211; still work-in-progress- for how\u00a0the\u00a0use of digital badges could be used in TPD\u00a0in general\u00a0and in TPD at scale\u00a0in particular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please join us for the next Learning at Scale Special Interest Group: &nbsp; Digital badging as a way of accrediting learning at scale &nbsp; Title:\u00a0Digital Badges in Context: Looking behind [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"Europe\/London","_EventStartDate":"2021-12-14 10:00:00","_EventEndDate":"2021-12-14 12:00:00","_EventStartDateUTC":"2021-12-14 10:00:00","_EventEndDateUTC":"2021-12-14 12:00:00","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"prefix","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":0,"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-2597","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2597"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2799,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/2597\/revisions\/2799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2597"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/opentel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=2597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
