Abstract:

With the Internet, Big Data and the ever changing professional world, educational institutions face new challenges to remain relevant for new young adults preparing for their first job, or experienced professionals improving their skills set to maintain their own game at the top.
It is difficult to foresee the professional demand, and more difficult even to make sure the institution's reputation is the best so demand from students remain high.
Bu what if an open standard around learning and skills, properly applied, could really be a game changer?
OpenBadges proposes a way for institutions to automate the skills attributions to their learners while maintaining control over these qualifications and ensuring maximum promotion of their names as providers of this set of skills.
What if learners could look at the market demand and see the most requested skills, and locate, in just a few clicks, the institutions providing courses to obtain that skill, close to their home, or online?
A profound implementation of OpenBadges in Chamilo now allows your institution to be that one step further from other institutions. Let us show you (very briefly) how!
