This is a nice blending of Kirkpatrick levels of course assessment and open badges. It begins as a criticism of Kirkpatrick's use of badges ("I find it outstanding that after a mere 3-hour training, participants receive a badge specifying that they are able, among other things, to 'plan and deliver training programs with business value in mind.'"). Instead, Serge proposes " to define what I coined as K3 Badges—'K' for Kirkpatrick and '3' for level 3." These are badges that would be certified not by the training institution or the learner, but by managers in the workplace (at K3, signifying that the learning is being applied on the job). This is a lovely idea, and extends the concept of badges in a potentially useful direction. Now all it needs is Bluetooth. I mean, Blockchain. Image: Clan Kirkpatrick badge.
