Additional comments and advice
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:OERu/Planning/Open badges and micro credential working group poll
I think the use of micro-credentials, whether badges or something else, would be especially useful in specifying the knowledge and/or skills that students have acquired in one or another of our courses. Such articulation would make transparent what each of us is teaching, and would be helpful in allowing us to equate and articulate one another's courses to our own. This would be particularly useful as we try to figure out how a US version of a course in, say, Business Administration aligns with one from Australia or New Zealand, where the same course title might indicate something very different.
