Two of Glover and Latif’s (2013) key findings
That aligning badges with professional bodies enabled students to see how their studies fit with future career aspirations
That raising the awareness of open badges amongst employers was important to increase badge credibility

Map to existing professional development frameworks
UKPSF | SEDA |VITAE
More to do!
BUT, at the outset we had a greater vision for embedding them into our own practice which hasn’t yet materialised and perhaps we need to focus our energy on leading by example. For instance more explicitly aligning and badging our CPD offer with existing professional development frameworks such as the HEA UKPSF, the SEDA Professional Development Framework and the Vitae Researcher Development Framework.
Mapping documents exist….
Challenges that have stalled that process….?
