Badge lab

Test, critique and improve badges and tools that recognize informal online learning.

  • Badges, learning and online identity. Help test and hack on an secure online 'backpack' that puts students in control of their credits, degrees and learning materials.

We look at badges inside out before we delve into creating them; we come-up with the meaning behind the badge; what the metadata in the badge should be; as well as look at the pros and cons of badge giving.
  • Tracking skills— Here we take a look into the world of assessment and do some collaborative brainstorming on how to identify and track skills. We are especially interested in recruiting those interested in the open web and web development, but, skills across all domains and disciplines are welcome.
  • School of Webcraft Badges— This activity is in collaboration with the School of Webcraft tent. We hope to get all past, present, and possible future course organizers to help us brainstorm what badges should be awarded in SoW courses.
  • Design the ultimate badge & identity system— In this activity you will help us design the ultimate badge and identity system. Are you a systems thinker? Well, we need you to think big. Help us envision the architecture of the ultimate badge system.

Wikiotics language lesson assembly studio

We're going to get together at the festival and build language lessons to teach some of the specialized vocabulary from the festival using our cameras, laptops, and the [Wikiotics] system.

  • Goal: Build a collection of language lessons using the visual materials around us.
  • Audience: Anyone with a camera or a laptop or knowledge of at least one language. Introduction and language lesson creation should take from 30 to 60 minutes. More than 60 people might get a little chaotic, but we should theoretically work with any size group.
  • Activities: Attendees will be making language lessons by taking pictures of items around us that illustrate local vocabulary: local buildings, foods, plants, animals, conference tables, types of laptops, etc. We will then be arranging these items into a progression to make a lesson, and translating the lessons into multiple languages.
  • Outputs: At the end, we should have a collection of language lessons to teach ourselves, and anyone online, how to describe our environment in multiple languages.


Contact: Ian Sullivan, Wikiotics.org, "sullivan" in #drumbeat on freenode

Proposed space: Open content Studio

Summary: Come turn our conference environment into language education resources. We will take pictures, translate sentences, and arrange both online to create interactive language lessons for people online. Anyone with a camera, laptop, or knowledge of at least one language is welcome.
