Designing Digital Badging Programs: Findings from an Interview-Based Study with Instructional Designers
Rosenberger, Kyle
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v63 n4 p477-484 Jul 2019
Digital badging programs are becoming increasingly popular in K-12, higher education, and corporate training environments. Instructional designers are playing a key role in the design and implementation of such programs. This qualitative research study was conducted to identify practical techniques from instructional designers who have been involved in the design and implementation of digital badging programs. Results from this study indicate that there is not one standard instructional design method to use when designing digital badging programs and that non-traditional approaches may be viable options. Results indicate that five areas of focus are employed by instructional designers creating digital badge programs: iterative design, piloting, participant feedback, incorporating communicative elements about the utility of digital badges in the program, and adopting high-touch or hands-on approaches.
