Abstract
Wikinomics is a well-established socioeconomic term. This paper draws from the ongoing work of the Wikinomics European Lifelong Learning project. It revisits the term’s definition and attempts to re-frame it, using collaborative training and educational approaches, that include sustainable network building and an open badges use scenario. The open badges scenario has been launched through an open communication process with the Mozilla Open Badges initiative and is based on a methodology aiming to connect the Wikinomics project learning outcomes, with the ECVET framework approach.
