FSW Digital Badges

What is a Digital Badge?A digital badge is an electronic credential that represents an individual's skills, achievements, or knowledge in a specific area. Digital badges are associated with detailed information about the criteria for earning the badge (metadata), such as the issuing organization and the evidence of the accomplishment, making them a verifiable and shareable way to recognize and showcase competencies and learning outcomes.At FSW, we have defined three main categories for the types of badges offered: 1. Transferable and Professional Skills These badges are embedded in courses and represent skills that are applicable across disciplines and industries, such as language, communication, and research. 2. Industry Recognized These badges are integrated into the curriculum and indicate the achievement of specific skills or certifications that are recognized and valued in particular industries or professions. 3. Continuing Education These badges are awarded for completing professional development courses and other training programs offered through FSW's Office of Corporate and Community Education.In addition to these externally-facing badge categories, FSW offers internal badges for students, faculty, and staff to recognize personal and professional development. Student experiences, such as attendance at or participation in events, workshops, or programs, are created through the Student Engagement Office using Presence. Student experiences are documented by the Presence Transcript and are not associated with digital badges.

FSW Survey Guidance

FSW's Office of Assessment is a recommended first stop for resources for survey support. We routinely provide survey draft reviews and collaboration in survey building for many different departments. Contact Dr. Joseph van Gaalen for more information (joseph.vangaalen@fsw.edu.PurposeAsk Why, What and Who!Why am I conducting the survey? What information do I need? Who has the information I need?Pre-researchCan I obtain part or all of this information in other ways? Ask within your department or team AASPIRE if we might have the data already from other surveys or from our local banner data. This can increase efficiency for you in generating answers as well as greatly reduces survey fatigue for participants.Creating your SurveyShare, briefly, the purpose of the survey with your participants. Identify a point of contact for any comments or questions that participants may have about the survey and include the contact information. Let participants know how the data will be used. Note if the data will be kept Confidential (identifying information is known by the researcher but not shared) or Anonymous (identifying information is not collected).Survey TipsBe briefAsk one question at a timeBe specific — instead of asking if students spend "a lot" of time studying, ask how many hours a week students usually spend studying.If relying on participants' memory, stick to recent timeframes to increase accuracyBe clear - define all acronyms, unusual vocabulary and vague terms ("often," "quality," "accessible")Be universal — avoid biases by including multiple perspectivesReferenceSuskie, L.
