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.

Thanks Marc,

This raises the question of the relationship between open badges and formal academic credit. Should the OERu decide to constitute an open badges / micro-credentialing group perhaps it should operate as sub-group of the Standing Committee for Credit Transfer?
