Quality Label standard training curricular
The Quality Label for Badge Recognition (further referred to as Quality Label) signifies a commitment to upholding quality standards in badge-issuing activities. By fostering a community dedicated to delivering quality learning opportunities and skill recognition, it aims to offer additional credibility and reliability in recognising and promoting quality Open Badge issuance practices.
The Organiser (at least one staff member) must complete the digital playlist “Quality Label for Badge Issuing”, which will guide them through the process of becoming “Quality Label ready”. Having completed this playlist is a requirement for applying for the Quality Label.
A second playlist called “Creating quality Open Badges and badge systems” is also part of the Quality Label online training, and is designed to help the Organiser learn how to create and issue quality badges. This second playlist is recommended but not mandatory.
Cities of Learning Network members will review evidence in a standardised way and assess the participants’ learning outcomes.
The two Quality Label playlists mentioned cover the following main topics:
- Essentials about Open Badges (i.e. what are badges, different types of badges, different values of a badge, how to start creating and issuing badges, etc.);
- How to create a quality badge (i.e. how to write a good description, how to assess a badge’s evidence, how to link the badge to wider competence frameworks, etc.);
- How to create more complex badge systems;
- How badges might be integrated into the Organiser’s work;
- Quality Label: what it is and how to get it.
