AB  - Innovation is becoming more prevalent in education. However, limited tools have been
developed to track and characterize the innovation process in education. This paper presents
MOOCIBL, a custom-made online platform that tracks the different processes that occur in an 
Innovation-Based Learning environment. This study introduces the concept of learning tokens as 
tiny individual trackable pieces, thought of as breadcrumbs documenting students' learning in a 
course.
Throughout the course, students create tokens that illustrate their learning process throughout the 
semester. These tokens can be related to class-specific core learning objectives, a self-selected
innovation project, or anything else they are learning related to the class. When these pieces are 
created, students identify what they are going to learn (the title of the token), to which level they 
are going to learn it (Depth of Knowledge), how they are going to learn it (description), and how 
they are going to demonstrate that they learned it (evidence and impact level).
Learning tokens enter the platform and get tracked throughout creation, review, development,
and final review by the instructor. Tokens can be reviewed many times and moved to different 
stages, allowing the students to refine their definition, evidence, and assessment. Since tokens 
can travel through multiple stages, it was key for our team to be able to track the tokens in our 
pipeline. We added blockchain features to the token structure to facilitate tracking and to provide
a novel sense of security, transparency, and immutability.
MOOCIBL allows us to visually inspect, in detail, the process of all the learning tokens in the
system. The online application is based on modular PHP/HTML and MySQL databases, which
give great flexibility and allow implementation in a multitude of engineering classes. This paper 
will describe how this tool is structured, will detail the functionality of the platform including 
both student and instructor web-views, and will analyze the students' and instructors' opinions
about the platform and the token learning system.
The MOOCIBL platform opens the doors to multi-institution micro-credentialing in a highly 
transparent, secure environment.
