Digital Courses, Which Direction?

Ever get tried of learning and doing the same things you already know? Selling yourself isn’t easy with your unsupervised/undocumented learning. Seems like everyone wants your money so that YOU can say what exactly it is you can do, how about just doing it and showing you did it right? Well, you could build a portfolio, take some tests, have a great social network, or perhaps this needs to be simplified, perhaps with digital badges? Maybe I am lazy, or, there are too many strings attached for some to understand. We can take badges to the next level. Check out http://openbadges.org/en-US/ to get started. This is the where it all started. Mozilla announced the Open Badges Project on September 15th 2011! So far, there is a badge for just about everything, and there sure have been a lot of earners, but what about the displayers? Are there any recruiters looking for a P2Pu student, because they should be! By the way, adding these courses/badges to your resume has been a particular burning question for the masses, in this particular thread, there was a battle between free thinkers and “HR” that you may find interesting, so…click here.

With that being said, I hope to see some proven results from our badge earners, and I will keep us posted on which direction we should go and how to become accredited with badges.

There are already online sites that offer you the opportunity to level up your life. Go post your badges and projects to your Facebook, spread the word to your employers, and share your experience with others!

About kottss

In all honesty, I am a very simple person who feels the need to simply simplify her life. I feel the need to take responsibility of my own life and not require the permission of authorities to be able to speak, learn, build and grow, just as all adults do. I have a great respect for the contributions made by our forefathers and historical figures who have built the bridge that we all must cross. The bridge to freedom, which can only be crossed by continuing to give, striving for change and supporting open minded businesses and groups. I plan to contribute and support a world that wants its basic needs and desires back. The people are not really asking for much, just food, water, a home and a social structure are really most anyone's only goals in life, but sadly I find myself and others untangling a complicated mess to fill a very uncomplicated void that was taken from them. The struggle for survival is costing us much more than we are gaining. My ultimate goal is to take back my right to learn by supporting the open badges project, where learning can take place anytime, anywhere and you are awarded or recognized for it. I want myself, and others, to take control of their education, it is child-like to let a degree or college have complete control. I believe we now have the tools to start taking control of our lives, we should still have a government body, but one in which we share power and protect our rights as equals, not as Uncle Sam vs. We The People.
