The Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence (COTE) has formally recognized the diversity of roles and expertise among our thousands of online practitioners across the SUNY system with our Open SUNY Fellow Program. We have developed a comprehensive digital badging ecosystem made up of stacked constellations of badges using these roles as a framework to recognize, acknowledge, honor, validate, certify, and authorize, track, engage and professionally develop our community of online practitioners. We have innovated with badges to address various challenges in faculty attitudes about online teaching and learning, scaling online community engagement and our ability to support and serve our extensive numbers of online practitiosers, systematic online competency development, and in cultivating a culture of continuous online quality improvement. We have successfully created this digital badging framework to promote and scale online community membership, engagement in our community of online practitioners, online competency development, and continuous online quality improvement.
