Learner eXperience Designers (LXD) Exploring the Feasibility of Badging
Beth Burns
Buffalo State College
2012
Tier Two
Amount of Award:$20,000.00
The Learner eXperience Designers (LXD), will spearhead the exploration of integrating badging on campus and in higher education. Specifically, the LXD are committed to evaluating the logistics and effectiveness of badging in three specific areas: within a course, within a student training program, and within professional development.
Through our exploration of badging in three areas: in an open course, in a help desk training program, and in faculty development, we came up with a badging application that could be used by the SUNY community in order to easily incorporate the course badging process onto campuses.
