for more about the Competition.

Online networks, digital resources, and gaming environments provide rich opportunities
for learning that is demand-driven and learner-centered. More and more people are
turning to networked knowledge communities, online tutorials, and other digital 
resources for wide ranging learning needs. While learning is migrating to these 
more informal and non-institutionalized kinds of contexts, we still have little 
research that examines how people assess, recognize, and display the learning that
happens in these settings. What are the emerging techniques and practices for managing
reputation and recognizing learning? What are the broad historical and structural
understandings of how accreditation operates in our changing social and cultural
 environment? What systems exist for recognizing learning outside of formal degree
and training programs? How do credentials and other displays of achievement operate
in the digital and networked world? What kinds of skills and experiences have not
been well captured by existing credentialing and recognition systems? How is the
 landscape of credentialing changing (or not) with the shift to digital and networked
 society?

We seek empirical and theoretical research focusing on these questions. Studies 
should focus on areas such as:


* Ranking, badging, and achievement systems in games, clubs, competitions, and other
forms of interest-driven activities.
* Accreditation and certificates outside of formal degree programs, including areas
such as work skills training, language, writing and critical capabilities, arts,
 crafts, and other  trades.
* The role of credentials, badges, and other recognitions of achievement in career
and reputation development.
* Empirical, theoretical, and critical studies of how companies, groups, institutions,
and individuals produce, utilize, and exploit various credentialing and reputation
systems.
