A Future Full of Badges

With the badge system students will be able to customize learning goals within the larger curricular framework, integrate feedback, and tailor the way badges and the meta data within them are displayed to the outside world. The badges movement is based on the idea that people should be able to gather useful evidence of what they have learned. This seems like a great thing for university to use for the students that they are educating. I would not mind using the badge system especially since the winners of the badge competition were people like Disney and NASA. I think our schools really need to look into participating in this and encouraging their student to also.
