This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This Course will walk you through all the steps needed to create a badge for P2PU. It will provide links to all resources needed, including Open Source software, font files, and initial templates. You will need a bit of creativity and a bit of patience if you haven't done any graphics work before.
In the comments section below, tell us:
As an organizers, the badge should directly correspond to the learning goals of your P2PU course. A strong connection between goals and badges makes the assessment relevant. For instance, in HTML Hunting in the World Around You, HTML Basic Badge directly corresponds to learning...well, the basics of HTML.
While it would be awesome, an "Internet Browsing Monster" badge would not be a relevant badge here, because browsing the web isn't a goal of the course. Make sense? :)
Badge Types
Skill Badge
Community Badge
Challenge Completion Badge
given automatically to anyone that marks all the challenge tasks as completed
Beware: peers can acquire completion badges without doing actual work
This is a meta- badge -- it recognizes the participant's ability to create a digital badge. To do so, the participant must complete the P2PU course "Badge Maker" and present the resultant badge.
This is a purely experimental badge and is not associated with any course at this time.
This is a skill badge.
I recently create an application using Play Framework and Heroku to demo my understanding of Badges in Leah Macvie's "Badges 101" P2PU course.
I would like to try creating a course and badge for learners on P2PU who want to explore creating web applications using Play Framework and deploying to the cloud using Heroku.
Have been looking into developing these badges now and have decided to simplify things greatly by reducing the number to two.
They will both be based around the "Challenge Badge" option.
I'm going to create one badge for speakers at a CESIMeet (based on the TeachMeet model).
BADGE 1:
CESI Speaker Badge = this will be for those teachers attending who get up to speak at the Meet. As they wil all be talking about ICT in Education and we'll have their e-mail addresses it should be straightforward enough to send them a link to their badge.
BADGE 2:
CESI Attendee Badge = this will be given to all of those who attend the CESIMeet (and this means that those who also speak will get this badge too).
I'm wondering if I should add dates to the badges or the location name of where the CESIMeet was held. This would nmean the creation of a new badge for each Meet (but there are only a few of these a year).
I also feel, that by keeping this initial offering small, I will gain an understanding of the practical side to issuing badges in time for the CESI Conference next February.
P.S. - Being an Art Teacher by trade, I've spent more time playing with Inkscape and working on the design than anything else.
MUST FOCUS!
These are all skills badges.
Here's my thoughts on what I'm looking to build some badges for, based around a conference.
The Computer Education Society Of Ireland http://www.cesi.ie/ is holding it's annual conference next year and I would like to set up badges for the speakers and attendees of this conference.
I'm thinking there should be a badge for those who present/speak as well as for those who attend. I think this would be a challenge badge.
I would also like to see a community based badge that those attending, in person or virtually, could actually award to each other too, during the event.
With my interest in Professional Development, I would also like to see it move beyond the event itself and for those attending to revisit a community area and post up their learning from the conference too. This would be a skills badge, as those attending would need to focus on what they could take from the conference and how hey could then integrate it into their learning or the learning of eir students.
Which skills does your badge represent?
Which course will offer the badge?
What type of badge will it be?
There is also a community badge
Creating a presentation in Notability.
A course for teachers who will receive iPads is year: "First Steps"
A skill badge.
Which skills does your badge represent? This badge will represent a user successfully completing a challenge to make a game in the style of Pong.
Which course will offer the badge? Pong: Retro Learning for the Neon Age
What type of badge will it be? This will be a skill badge.
My badge will be a part of a Digitial Citizenship unit designed for the elementary students at my school. The first badge for this purpose would be knowing their rights and responsibilities as students.
Digitial Rights and Responsiblities. The students will veiw a video on web safety. They will review the districts digital use policy. They will then take a short quiz.
The badge will be a skills badge. Because the students will be taking a quiz, they will be assessed online. Badges will be given based on the results.
I plan on making a Community Badge for my English II class that can be used all year as a sort of citizenship/leadership in collaboration badge.
Tentatively the badge will be known as the "Big Chief" badge and will be awarded by classmates.
I'm trying to get use to this Badge process. I think I understand it now!
whoa, didn't realise I'd be creating a course as well. Still; in for a penny...
Skills:
|
1. Identify main layout sections from design specification |

|
2. Lay out web page to match design specification |
2.1 Position document elements 2.2 Style web page elements to match design specifications |

This will be a "skills" type badge
First let me say that this step feels like an assignment, almost like busy work. I've already created the challenge with three tasks https://p2pu.org/en/groups/youth-voices-profile/ and I just want to mess around with the image for the badge and play with how it get into the Mozilla Backpack or appears on a page on P2PU or can be copied to a profile on Youth Voices. But OKAY... let me see:
Student who are new to Youth Voices are encouraged to create a profile about themelves. Returning students might want to revise their profiles from time to time.
I use this exercise as a sort of entry exam, getting a sense of a student's writing skills, skills at following directions, drawing skills, and commitment to being real about finding an inquiry to explore
So, it's all about Youth Voices.
There's a study group https://p2pu.org/en/groups/connected-learning-with-youth-voices/
And it seems to me that the badges will work best within a Challenge. But these challenges seem to be small -- or I would want them to be. Then I'd want them to be easy to collect somewhere... a set of links somewhere -- perhaps on Youth Voices, but also within a course? How can we imagine challenges working with courses or study groups?
I'm pretty sure this is a Community Badge. It's not one that is a skill -- because I want these to be repeat-able over time, more like habits, and it's not an automatic one when all tasks are complete. So yeah, it's a Commuhity Badge. And although it's not done on a weekly basis -- such as giveing good feedback -- A peer could award it when someone upgrades his or her profile. So yes... a Community Badge.
