Figure 4 Purpose of Badge Implementation
Main questionnaire After the response from the June 2015 survey , it was clear that a larger investigation of this topic would be useful to the UK HE educational community .
The purpose of the survey was to try to attain a greater understanding of the use of Open Badges across educational institutions , and to find out how much of the use was driven by academics or by e-learning teams . There was branching applied to the questionnaire . This allowed for tailoring of the questions dependant on the answers provided : for example , asking academics further questions relating to their use of badges with their students .
The distribution of the survey was carried out in the same way as above , but it was also sent out to the Europortfolio network by the Centre for Recording Achievement 17 .
