her ideas:
Questions to ask when building your badge system
- impact / change
-
- what are the proposed or imagined social, professional, or personal impacts of the badge system
- how will it change or alter individual or group trajectories?
- commitment
-
- what's the badge system owner's commitment to long term implementation
- is it fully funded, does it have enough financial support to remain viable, is the team strong enough to carry it through? where are the potential trouble spots?
- connectivity / correlation with other existing systems
-
- will this create connective tissue within the ecosystem or create a new branch of the ecosystem that others can build upon?
- flexibility of stakeholders / system to taking new approaches
- can we try something new or are we recreating existing power structures?
