Julie,

Are you talking about Digital Badging as HĀSTAC and MacArthur talk about
them?
http://www.hastac.org/digital-badges
http://www.macfound.org/programs/digital-badges/

I ask, because the concept is quite familiar, but this nomenclature isn't
familiar enough for me to immediately identify the concept with the term.
So when I took the survey, I answered no to the first question, and got
booted out. You might be leaving some valuable information on the table.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I believe it's possible that others in the
informal setting are doing things like this, but just not calling it
digital badging.

Best,

Hi Bryan,
Thanks so much for your helpful response.
I am referencing Digital Badging as discussed by HASTAC and MacArthur.
However, throughout my research thus far, I have also found some alternative
digital badging models/definitions, which is why I've hesitated to define
the term in my introduction. Still, I can see how this terminology may be
confusing to some potential respondents and will try to revise this
introductory language as I continue to seek responses.

If you would be willing to revisit the survey and respond yes, to the
first question, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. I will be able
to delete your previous no response.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Best,
Julie
