Digital Badges: An Annotated Research Bibliography v1. This annotated bibliography is a first step toward organizing literature about digital badges, open badges and badge systems.

Digital Badges: An Annotated Research Bibliography v1

This domain involves multiple streams of literature from education, learning sciences, library and information science, reputation systems, and systems design. The bibliography includes peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed articles, blog posts, news articles, white papers, videos, wikis and FAQs. We acknowledge that digital badges are an emerging topic and we have attempted to include a full spectrum of viewpoints. In light of this, we have chosen to provide descriptive rather than evaluative annotations. Research Design Principles for Studying Learning with Digital Badges. Badges for Learning.
