Meta-Review of Recognition of Learning in LMSs and MOOCs.

Recognition of learning techniques such as badges and micro credentials are broadly used in education. Both LMSs and MOOCs incorporate these techniques to inform learners of their achievements. This meta-review study aims to provide an overview of recognition of learning in both LMSs and MOOCs, by gathering previous literature reviews and overview studies in this field. The studies reviewed show multiple applications, mainly using badges and gamification in MOOCs. Results of the studies have been broadly positive and, together with the recommendations and lessons learned in previous research, encourage the future research in recognition of learning.
