In recent years, digital badging systems have become a credible
means through which learners can establish portfolios and
articulate knowledge and skills for both academic and professional
settings. Digital Badges in Education provides the first
comprehensive overview of this emerging tool. A digital badge is an
online-based visual representation that uses detailed metadata to
signify learners' specific achievements and credentials in a
variety of subjects across K-12 classrooms, higher education, and
workplace learning. Focusing on learning design, assessment, and
concrete cases in various contexts, this book explores the
necessary components of badging systems, their functions and value,
and the possible problems they face. These twenty-five chapters
illustrate a range of successful applications of digital badges to
address a broad spectrum of learning challenges and to help readers
formulate solutions during the development of their digital badges
learning projects.
This handbook provides a comprehensive compendium of research in
all aspects of mobile learning, one of the most significant
developments in the field of education. For more than a decade,
researchers and practitioners have been exploring this area of
study as the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets, and other
such devices, as well as the increasingly sophisticated
applications for these devices, has allowed educators to accomodate
and support an increasingly mobile society. This handbook provides
the first authoritative account of the theory and research that
underlies mobile learning, while also exemplifying models of
current and future practice.
Winner of the AECT Division of Distance Learning (DDL) Distance
Education Book Award! This handbook provides a comprehensive
compendium of research in all aspects of mobile learning, one of
the most significant ongoing global developments in the entire
field of education. Rather than focus on specific technologies,
expert authors discuss how best to utilize technology in the
service of improving teaching and learning. For more than a decade,
researchers and practitioners have been exploring this area of
study as the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets, and other

This book proposes that organizational policies are what ensure the
institutionalization and sustainability of futures thinking in
organizations. It presents several case studies from corporations
and other institutions that describe effective use of foresight
methods and internal policies to respond to rapid change. The case
studies address changing trends in technology, globalization and/or
workforce diversity, and the impact on the economic and political
well-being of the organization. The editors also develop an
organizational capability maturity model for futures thinking as
well as providing questions for discussion that promote critical
review of each case chapter. This book will inform scholars and
organizational leaders how best to utilize foresight methodologies
and organizational policies to sustain successful management
strategies within futures thinking organizations. Chapter 9 is

The three volumes in this set are conceived as ""handbooks"" for
individual teachers to help them implement computer-mediated
communication (CMC) in their classrooms from kindergarten level
through to higher education. The authors avoid as far as possible
discussing hardware or software specifics, concentrating instead on
content, pedagogy, instructional design and the mechanics of using
CMC. All three volumes are written by and for practitioners who
have bought into the value of CMC and now want to know how they can
use it in their educational setting.
