I feel author somehow saying just badges for crediblity is wrong, it has to be compared what we have today in university as credibility. It is just a pdf certificate and a grade point with university name. It doesn't distinguishes student very well.

With people moving towards online education there will be much better education data gathering and much better way to present them. Kevin carey pointed out this https://accredible.com/10000005 for replacement of current education certificate for data gathering about student learning and then using the data collected in better way for analyzing student performance and for employablity. P.S (I work at accredible as SE)
