TELIC1: The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies from Doug Belshaw on Vimeo.
I was asked to do virtually keynote for Sheffield Hallam University’s TELIC student conference. You can see the result here or embedded above. Slides can be found here (over 10,000 views in 24 hours after being featured on the Slideshare homepage!)
In addition, I presented on Open Badges at the JISC RSC Scotland conference on Friday. It was livestreamed so I’m guessing there’ll be a video recording somewhere. Until then, slides here or embedded below!
Moving into uncharted waters: are open badges the future for skills accreditation?

I am still musing on the benefits of accreditation – your elemental/periodic allusion in the presentation above is very good as is the picture of the dragon. This contrasts with the least attractive certificates which seem to come from US IT companies; at interview I am sure the conversation will stop as the issue of potential forgery gets humorously raised.
Do certificates act more as mementos than qualification confirmation. I, for one, can only find one certificate and that is my driving licence.
