Survey: Adults think apprenticeships, not degrees, will raise employability

Valerie Bolden-Barrett Aug. 13, 2018

62% think apprenticeships and other on-the-job training programs make job seekers more employable than a college education, according to an American Staffing Association survey of more than 2,000 respondents.

Digital Badges Initiative to Support Professional Development in Washington State

By Rhea Kelly 07/11/18

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2018/07/11/digital-badges-initiative-to-support-professional-development-in-washington-state.aspx

The Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges (SBCTC) is teaming up with software development company Concentric Sky on a digital badging initiative that will use Badgr digital badges to document professional development accomplishments of faculty, administrators and staff across the system’s 34 institutions.

Each college will be able to implement badging as well as guided pathways within their courses or programs, particularly for co-curricular activities that typically aren’t represented on transcripts. Examples of such programs include internships, community service and museum activities.

he platform is certified compliant with version 2.0 of the IMS Global Learning Consortium’s Open Badges Specification. With Badgr Pathways, badges from Badgr or any other Open Badges compliant platform can be stacked to create “learning pathways” that are shareable across institutions.

As part of the four-year project, SBCTC will also contribute to the Badgr open source project.

Learning, Engaging, Enhancing with Digital Badging

Cammille Powell Friday, September 29, 2017
https://er.educause.edu/blogs/2017/9/learning-engaging-enhancing-with-digital-badging

Motivating busy higher education professionals to learn and engage with one another isn’t always an easy task; there are plenty of logistical hurdles, and often, little recognition of one’s efforts in an initiative.

The Integrated Advising and Planning for Student Success or ‘iPASS’ grant has been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; it supports the transformation of advising and student services in higher ed through the redesign of structures, processes, and technologies. To date, this work is ongoing in 26 grantee institutions across the country. The focus is on more than the implementation and use of new and innovative technology

IM554 discussion on Game Based Learning

Here is the “literature”:
https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2015/03/19/recommendations-for-games-and-gaming-at-lrs/
this link reflects my recommendations to the SCSU library, based on my research and my publication: http://scsu.mn/1F008Re

Here are also Slideshare shows from conferences’ presentations on the topic:

https://www.slideshare.net/aidemoreto/gamification-and-byox-in-academic-libraries-low-end-practical-approach

https://www.slideshare.net/aidemoreto/gaming-and-gamification-in-academic-and-library-settings

Topic :Gaming and Gamification in Academic Settings

Intro: why is it important to discuss this trend
1. The fabric of the current K12 and higher ed students: Millennials and Gen Z
2. The pedagogical theories and namely constructivism
  1. Csikszentmihalyi’s “flow” concept (being in the zone)
  2. Active learning
  3. Sociocultural Theory
  4. Project-Based Learning
3. The general milieu of increasing technology presence, particularly of gaming environment
4. The New Media Consortium and the Horizon Report

Discussion: Are the presented reasons sufficient to justify a profound restructure of curricula and learning spaces?

Definition and delineation
1. Games
2. Serious Games
3. Gamification
4. Game-based learning
5. Digital game-based learning
6. Games versus gamification
7. Simulations, the new technological trends such as human-computer interaction (HCI) such as augmented reality (AR),virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) (https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2017/02/22/virtual-augmented-mixed-reality/ )

Discussion: Is there a way to build a simpler but comprehensive structure/definition to encompass the process of gaming and gamification in education?

Gaming and Gamification
1. Pros
2. Cons
3. Debates

Discussion: Which side are you on and why?

Gaming and Gamification and BYOD (or BYOx)
1. gaming consoles versus gaming over wi-fi
2. gaming using mobile devices instead of consoles
3. human-computer interaction (HCI) such as augmented reality (AR),virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) (https://blog.stcloudstate.edu/ims/2017/02/22/virtual-augmented-mixed-reality/ )

Discussion: do you see a trend to suggest that either one or the other will prevail? Convergence?

Gaming in Education
1. student motivation, student-centered learning, personalized learning
2. continued practice, clear goals and immediate feedback
3. project-based learning, Minecraft and SimCity EDU
4. Gamification of learning versus learning with games
5. organizations to promote gaming and gamification in education (p. 6 http://scsu.mn/1F008Re)
6. the “chocolate-covered broccoli” problem

Discussion: why gaming and gamification is not accepted in a higher rate? what are the hurdles to enable greater faster acceptance? What do you think, you can do to accelerate this process?

Gaming in an academic library
1. why the academic library? sandbox for experimentation
2. the connection between digital literacy and gaming and gamificiation
3. Gilchrist and Zald’s model for instruction design through assessment
4. the new type of library instruction:
  in house versus out-of-the box games. Gamification of the process
  http://web.stcloudstate.edu/pmiltenoff/bi/

Discussion: based on the example (http://web.stcloudstate.edu/pmiltenoff/bi/), how do you see transforming academic library services to meet the demands of 21st century education?

Gaming, gamification and assessment (badges)
1. inability of current assessments to evaluate games as part of the learning process
2. “microcredentialing” through digital badges
3. Mozilla Open Badges and Badgestack
4. leaderboards

Discussion: How do you see a transition from the traditional assessment to a new and more flexible academic assessment?
