In addition, Instructional Design models or theories may be thought of as frameworks for developing modules or lessons that 1) increase and/or enhance the possibility of learning and 2) encourage the engagement of learners so that they learn faster and gain deeper levels of understanding

I'm anticipating the announcement at the upcomming EDucause Conference of a new Badge economy that will make it much easier to use this kind of open resource reward in my online classes.  


I'm ready to try this. Although my graduate students earn an official transcript and a signed certificate when they complete the E-Learning and Online Teaching Graduate program, I think adding badges to the mix would help them in their job quest. The folks likely to be impressed with badges are just the people my graduates should be working with.
