Creating the conditions for learning
I was struck by a comment by Will Richardson on twitter this morning, about creating the conditions for learning.

CC attribution
This thinkery about Creative Commons attribution might feel mildly annoying, but when it comes to attributing an author or creator for something you get to use for free, I think it’s worth the secret upgrade…

Issuing Open Badges
What gives an open badge value? Well, apart from the fact that value is a conversation between two parties, I reckon there are a few interesting ingredients – not least the parties involved in the issuing of the badge itself.
