6 years ago Additional notes from today's call with the Caliper Working Group:
Main Actors:
- Issuer,
- Endorser,
- Recipient (sometimes "earner")
- LMS where assessment is occurring (MetCriteria)
- Displayer
- Host / Backpack (often acting on behalf of a recipient)
Viktor's suggestion: try to refocus actions on user as opposed to the systems that are operating on users' behalf. Particularly, learner-centric.
- "Demonstrated" instead of "MetCriteria" for instance
- "Viewed" instead of "Displayed" puts focus on what the "consumer" of the badge does instead of what the system showing them data does.
Endorsement:
- Any Open Badges issuer may be an endorser
- Every Endorsement has an issuer (authority), uses same verification procedures as Assertions.
Markus:
- Is there a good intersection to make this a "digital credentials" proposal as opposed to Open Badges-focused.
- Verbs could be described in a more generic sense. Verbs should be shared between multiple use cases. "Modified" for instance has no need to be Open Badges-specific.
Next steps:
- Do some discovery on "Can we create a profile within the Digital Credentialing domain that can satisfy the needs of Open Badges and cover some more activities in relates specs/communities?"
- Draft a generalized version that doesn't do injustice to the Open Badges ecosystem needs recorded here, circulate for feedback with other constituencies in the domain. +1+1
- Markus is the designated coordinator nominee. (congratulations!)
- Get some eyeballs tasked!
Timeline:
- No later than nov quarterly to lay out the scope of what goes into Caliper 1.2.
- Goal: have agreement on release cadence going forward by then
Consider adding "Import" and "export" verbs to cover users' actions within badge hosts/"backpacks".
