Doug BelshawI wrote a post about the history of the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/OpenBadges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBadges</a> infrastructure using a <a href="https://social.coop/tags/SystemsThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SystemsThinking</a> model I came across during a UCL short course last week: <a href="https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2023/09/28/seven-samurai-and-open-badges/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dougbelshaw.com/blog/2023/09/28/seven-samurai-and-open-badges/</a>As I haven't yet started my MSc in Systems Thinking, I might have got the wrong end of the stick about how to apply the model.
