Call for Applications: Badges, Trophies, and Achievements: Recognition and Accreditation for Informal and Interest-Driven Learning

Research: assessment, badging
Grants: Research Grant, Doctoral Student Grants, Student Prize, Faculty Prize
Deadline: Apply by *January 6, 2012* (application instructions:
http://www.dmlcompetition.net/Competition/4/research-apply.php)

Online networks, digital resources, and gaming environments provide rich opportunities for learning that is demand-driven and learner-centered. More and more people are turning to networked knowledge communities, online tutorials, and other digital resources for wide ranging learning needs. While learning is migrating to these more informal and non-institutionalized kinds of contexts, we still have little research that examines how people assess, recognize, and display the learning that happens in these settings.
 - What are the emerging techniques and practices for managing reputation and recognizing learning?
 - What are the broad historical and structural understandings of how accreditation operates in our changing social and cultural environment?
 - What systems exist for recognizing learning outside of formal degree and training programs?
 - How do credentials and other displays of achievement operate in the digital and networked world?
 - What kinds of skills and experiences have not been well captured by existing credentialing and recognition systems?
 - How is the landscape of credentialing changing (or not) with the shift to digital and networked society?

We seek empirical and theoretical research focusing on these questions. Studies should focus on areas such as:

 - Ranking, badging, and achievement systems in games, clubs, competitions, and other forms of interest-driven activities.
 - Accreditation and certificates outside of formal degree programs, including areas such as work skills training, language, writing, and critical thinking capabilities, arts, crafts, and other trades.
 - The role of credentials, badges, and other recognitions of achievement in career and reputation development.
 - Empirical, theoretical, and critical studies of how companies, groups, institutions, and individuals produce, utilize, and exploit various credentialing and reputation systems.

RESEARCH GRANT (1)
Research funds to support the gathering and writing up of findings on novel and effective ways of assessing learning practices, especially learning facilitated by digital media. We are especially interested in work considering the role and effectiveness of badges and badging systems as instruments of assessment though competitive proposals will not be limited to this narrower focus.

Awarded funds may be used for salary replacement, for travel in support of data collection, for modest graduate research assistance in support of the project (no more than one-third of final budget), or for modest  technological support for the project. The grantee will also be responsible for organizing a workshop or a working group on the topic. In addition to the faculty support funding of the award ($60,000) there would be a budget of $20,000 available to support the workshop or working group. These funds may be used to support travel, accommodation and food expenses for workshop or working group participants but not for graduate student stipends or fees.

The grantee is required to produce one publication, which could be a book, a MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Report, literature review, or white paper. Support for activities resulting in publication are to be included in the grant budget. Research award winners are expected to attend the Digital Media and Learning Symposium in San Francisco on February 29, 2012, followed by the Digital Media and Learning Conference on March 1-3, 2012 ( http://dml2012.dmlcentral.net/), as well as one of the Competition winners meetings, travel costs for which are to be included in the awarded budgets. Grantees are also required to set aside funds for the winners' event to be held in conjunction with the 2013 Digital Media and Learning Conference. Participation at the event is a requirement of the award.

HYBRID ORGANIZATION WORKSHOP
Date: November 2-3, 2011
Location: Turku, Finland
Speakers and commentators:
Professor Celia Lury (Goldsmiths, University of London), Professor Eva Hemmungs Wirtén (Uppsala University) & Dr. Adam Arvidsson (University of Milano)
Convenors:
Professor Saara Taalas (Linnaeus University & University of Turku), Professor Alf Rehn (Åbo Akademi University), Dr. Lotta Häkkinen (University of Turku) & Dr. Nina Kivinen (Åbo Akademi University)
Hybridity has emerged as something of a new favorite theme in a number of disciplines, from cultural studies, geography and sociology to philosophy. In organization theory, hybridity has yet to establish itself fully as a conceptual framework, possibly due to the fact that we're still highly attached to the notion of an organization - a well-defined institution with clear boundaries. At the same time, the interest in the concept has never been greater, as notions of co-production, mixed forms of governance, multiplicities of practices, new business logics and developing technologies are perpetually mixing and remixing the notion of organizations and organizing. All that is solid is remixed into... what?
Traditionally, hybrid organizations have been understood through the conceptual lens of mixed public and private forms. However, this understanding has recently been challenged, particularly as new forms of exchange, collaboration and technological mediation has made evermore complex forms of productive organizational structures possible, prompting a call for understanding such new forms of hybrid organizing. A key, although not necessarily sole instantiation of this has been the new types of organization on the internet that combine peer community efforts, missions for common good and commercial scalability (Lessig 2008). At the heart of such hybrid organization lays the idea of co-production, but one where collaboration is not necessarily unproblematic. Hybrids build on many governing logics that can be contradictory, pervasive, collaborative, but permanently defy control by any one named actor.
It is here, in this complex nexus of not-quite-defined new forms of collaborative and mixed working that our workshop finds it impetus. The challenge, now, in a world of fan production, app-communities, mash-ups and brands in permanent flux, is to recast issues such as materiality, embodiment and borders - to reinterpret what are basic logics for organization. Where we might earlier have been able to "spot the organization" by its institutional forms, how are we to understand the notion of organization theory when the outside can become more central than the inside, and when not belonging might be the most potent productive force of all?
The purpose of the workshop is thus to link research on hybrid organizing, from a variety of disciplines, and encourage further collaboration with aspirations to produce an edited volume on hybrid organization during 2012. Attendance to the workshop is free but the number of participants is limited.
As part of this, we hereby cordially invite short papers (max 3000 words) on your ongoing research on issues connected to hybridity and organization, work that for example might address themes such as:
 - materiality, site, space and boundaries in hybrid organization
 - value, work and circulation in hybrid economies
 - management, power and control in hybrid organization
 - consumption, branding and appropriation in hybrid organization
 - hybrids as transformers of economic practice
Preliminary schedule: The workshop will run from around 9am on Wednesday November 2 and end at noon on the following day, Thursday November 3, 2011.
The deadline for short papers is September 15, 2011. Please send your paper to nina.kivinen@abo.fi
This workshop is a part of the research project Hybrid Organization: Media Brands as Sites of Co-Production financed by the Academy of Finland, and is arranged in co-operation with the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University. The workshop is part of the Hybrid Economy research initiative at the Finland Futures Research Centre at the University of Turku.

JULY 2011 10 Steps to take Brainstorming from Good to Wicked Good How many brainstorming sessions, filled with potentially brilliant ideas, have ended up as rolled up flip charts under someone's desk? Taking ideas to the next step post-brainstorming can be a challenge. When I get near the end of the brainstorming process, I use a simple filtering process that moves ideas from concept to near-ready to implement. Here's how it works... Step 1: When you've finished with the brainstorming stage, put all of your ideas on sticky notes or individual pieces of paper. (Something that allows them to be easily repositioned). Have them all stuck, off to the side, on a wall. Step 2: Next, determine what qualifiers you (want, need, will use) to filter these ideas and a range. (You may want to have these filters in mind ahead of time, or ask the group to develop them). Filters and their ranges could include: (filter) Ease of Implementation - (range) "easy" -to- "hard" Investment - "cheap" -to- "expensive' ROI - "low" -to- "high" The Brand - "builds the brand" -to- "draws from the brand" Time to Market - "implement quickly" -to- "takes a while" Of course, you'll have other filters that are important to your company... Step 3: Create a large grid on a big wall. (Blue painter's tape works well as it doesn't mess up paint. Be sure to test it first!) Step 4: Label the grid using two of your most important filters and the range. (I'll use ROI and Ease of Implementation for our example). Step 5: Have the team move and classify the ideas into their proper range within the categories. Step 6: Now you'll have a 'picture' of which ideas (in this example) will drive the most sales and are the easiest to implement. Items in the upper-right are the best ideas on this chart. Step 7: More than likely, you need to consider a third or fourth filter. For me, I want to consider ideas that: "are easy for the customer," and "have a positive impact on the brand." To accomplish this, we are going to focus on and refine the best ideas in the upper-right section with these additional filters. Step 8: Grab a few volunteers and have them remove the items that fit the next filter. I'm using "ideas that don't strengthen the brand." Have them move them outside of the box. Step 9: Next (and we're almost done), have a few different volunteers remove from the box the ideas that don't fit your next main filter. For me, it's ideas that "require effort on behalf of the customer." (If this idea requires the customer to jump through hoops, it's not a good one). Step 10: Finally, examine what's left in that box and you've got the ideas that... have a high ROI, are easier to implement, are easy on the customer, and build the brand. These ideas are ready to be championed and tested. Instead of ending your brainstorming with simply a bunch of potentially good ideas... you've taken action steps and are on path to execution. You've turned a good use of time into a wicked good use of time. Thanks again for your interest in Idea Sandbox! Let me know if you find this information helpful. And, please let me know what questions you have!

The 7th International Designs on eLearning Conference

DeL2011: creative learning spaces of the future
Aalto University
September 13 -16 2011
Aalto University is a new multidisciplinary university, where science and art meet technology and business. The University is located in Espoo and Helsinki in Finland.
*Call for papers
*The notion of space regains fresh momentum every time we interact with the world around us. As mobile devices weave into the fabric of everyday life, we are no longer confined to a specific location, time and place in accessing and interacting with communications technologies. Interfaces become more adaptable and fluid according to the user's needs; capable of switching seamlessly between augmented, real and virtual information and communication techniques and practices.

In educational contexts, however, we are still largely entangled in the three-dimensional space of Euclidian geometry which we commonly associate with the institutional space of action.
Thus the conference aims to delve into these temporal intertwined modes of action between individuals, networks and institutions so as to uncover unarticulated concepts and experiences that will help us to co-develop the creative learning spaces of the future.
The conference will therefore be cross-disciplinary, and will have four overarching topics, which are intended to help us frame elearning as part of an urgent need to locate the real, virtual and augmented learning spaces of the future.
These topics are:
1. Open experimental spaces; 2. Institutional spaces; 3. Social spaces for dialog and debate;  4. Networked spaces.
Abstracts should indicate which topic the paper will seek to address.

The website is now open for the submission of abstracts (up to 500 words).
Please register your interest by adding your contact details on the DeLwebsite

Further information about the conference can be obtained by emailing
Robin Shaw [r.shaw@arts.ac.uk] or Owen Kelly
