Just launched a game+badges demonstration project launches (I'm Serious.net) This morning, WCET (a membership cooperative of postsecondary education institutions, agencies and associations) launched the beta of their game+badges program, called Who's Got Class. As I've previously written, badges for learning are gaining attention on many fronts. In higher education, interest is growing particularly around benefits that badge systems might provide for student engagement and student retention. Additionally, education innovators are exploring the use of badges as drivers for certification programs and other competency-based learning settings. (For a primer on badges for learning, you might be interested in this webcast I co-presented in March with John Bower of uBoost.)

With all these questions whirling around, WCET leadership felt a calling to explore the world of badges and games for learning by hosting this "sandbox" project.
