A Typology of Interpersonal Recognition

Back in the old days of social media, h/t was a thing. (I remember having to ask what it meant…) Being restricted for characters as was the trend then, hat tip became h/t. I often posted half-baked drawings inspired by hearing someone speak at a meeting or event and used these precious 3 characters to acknowledge the spark behind the thought.

I was doing a little visual thinking (start in the middle of the page and work out in as many directions as possible) about interpersonal recognition for a credentialing workshop with Badge guru Doug Belshaw for the N-TUTORR project. Trying to think of all the ways that humans give recognition to each other. If I’m missing one dear to your heart, feel free to write me!

A couple of days after the workshop I was talking with Alan Levine about recognition in Open Education for the OEGlobal Podcast, and we contrived to build a remixer for humans to digitally hat tip.
