The Reflecting on Transitions badges

While studying Reflecting on Transitions you have the option to work towards gaining a digital badge.

There are two Reflecting on Transitions badges available:

purple course badge The purple badge is appropriate if you are a new migrant, refugee or asylum seeker where the learning outcomes refer to your reflections on your roles as well as what you have learned from the course and life experiences.

crimson course badge The crimson badge is appropriate if you work alongside or have a role in supporting new migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Here the learning outcomes refer to your knowledge and understanding of the experiences of new migrants, refugees and asylum seekers as referred to in the course.

You just need to ensure you choose the appropriate badge trust statement for the badge you wish to gain.

Depending on your personal circumstances and roles, some of you may wish to gain both badges, particularly if you gained a badge as a learner and then moved on to supporting new arrivals to the UK. In these circumstances you may want to gain recognition of your understanding of others’ experiences of reflecting on their transitions. To do this, click on both badge trust statements. You then only have to read the course and attempt each quiz once.

The Reflecting on Transitions badges show that you have gained an understanding of the process of reflection and personal planning, and that you have achieved the learning outcomes listed within the course.

Badge trust statement

The OpenLearn Works non-accredited badging system relies on trust. We trust you to answer the questions at the end of each session in the course drawing on your own skills and knowledge, as we do not have formal exams or invigilation as part of OpenLearn Works units and courses. The badge trust statement asks you to agree that the answers you submit to the course quizzes are your own work and that you will not share your answers with other learners.

There is more guidance on How to complete the course quizzes and How your Reflecting on Transitions badge is issued in the Badges and quizzes section in the Resources area of the website.
