Pilot Badging Team
So How’s It Going?Initial Findings from Week One of Pilot
Initial Data
1044 - badges sent via institutional email addresses
634 - individual students who’ve earned badges
10 - students earning badges from non-assigned mods
4 (1 student) - Number of badges claimed via Credly
1099 - assessments that should have delivered a badge
Observations
● Earners driven by assignment (currently)
● Watching for student-driven uptick later
● Troubleshoot module-to-middleware process
● Potential value in each phase of badging:
○ Notification email
○ Claiming (“Save and Share”)
○ Making public
○ Linking to specific badges
What Next?Phase II and Beyond for Badges @ UCF
What’s in the Hopper?
● UCF Phase II: Professional development offerings
