Which Skills Are You Assessing?

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 the, well, 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? :) 

What Is The Badge For? 

What event in the learning process does the badge recognize? A few options:  

• Is the badge for the completion of a project or task? A “Skill” badge is most appropriate. Learners apply for that badge upon completion of a project or task.
• Is the badge for a trait a learner demonstrates? “Community” badges are what peers award to each other--maybe for giving Helpful Feedback or being a Team Player.
• Is the badge about user’s activity? “Stealth” badges are earned automatically by usage on the site. For instance, learners get the Beta Hero badge by completing all tasks in a challenge.
