Sažetak
Digital badges, or more specifically Open Badges (OBs) are an important technology for teaching and assessing soft skills. At their most basic level, digital badges are a new way to capture and communicate what an individual knows and can demonstrate. OBs allow learners to verify their skills, interests and achievements through credible organizations. Thanks to OBI, earners can combine multiple OBs from different issuers, display them on the Web, and share them for employment, education or lifelong learning. The EU LLP GRASS project develops innovative pedagogical approaches and ICT tools and services to support continuous development, measurement, assessment, grading and recognition of learners’ soft skills using OBs. It also monitors the accumulation of one’s soft skills, on the long run, in their own ecosystem. The analysis of the data showed that students liked the idea of badging and saw it as very motivating. It can also be seen that, in general, the students are familiar with the whole concept of badging, but some of them are not so sure that OBs will be important for their future career.
