Employers, Quality and Standards in Higher Education: Shared Values and Vocabularies or Elitism and Inequalities? | Morley and Aynsley

Posted on by Joshua Quick — No Comments ↓

Morley, L. and Aynsley, S. “Employers, Quality and Standards in Higher Education: Shared Values and Vocabularies or Elitism and Inequalities?” Higher Education Quarterly 61 (2007): 229–249.

This paper examined employers’ use of quality and standards in higher education to recruit graduates and make hiring decisions. Reporting on the investigation of employers’ needs, Morley and Aynsely (2007) factored in the reputation of the institutions and the knowledge that they look for, noting employers’ practice of looking at institution rankings as a measure of quality. They presented a correlation between a hierarchy of labor market opportunities and stratified system of higher education.

Mozilla Open Badges
Digital Badges are web-enabled credentials of learning or accomplishment. -Erin Knight, director of the Badge Alliance
Badges contain detailed claims about learning, links to actual evidence of learning, and they're shareable over the web. -Dan Hickey, DPD Project Lead Investigator
To me, digital badges represent the bridge between formal learning & informal structures. -Alex Halavais, DML research competition winner
Open Badges can help people tell a verifiable story about their accomplishments. -Nate Otto, DPD Project coordinator
From a post that served as core inspiration to the DPD Project:
Regardless of where you start, it’s more than likely you’ll end up somewhere other than your intended destination. That’s okay. Systems are living things, and your badge system needs to be flexible. You must embrace a bit of chaos in its design. -Carla Casilli, Director of Design + Practice at the Badge Alliance
