    "As more people begin to earn, implement, and investigate badges, there is a danger that what is unique about badges will become assimilated into established, and often flawed, practices rather than people accommodating the benefit of badges into their own thinking." - Sam Abramovich/HASTAC

Why Badges Work Better Than Grades | HASTAC - 0 views

  •  
    Closing summary from author Cathy: "Obviously they don't in all situations. For over a hundred years grades have represented or summarized a teacher's estimation of the worth of a student as quantified by a series of tests, often of the item-response variety (invented in 1914). Badges are simply another way, a more flexible way, of certifying a range of skills that our machine-age multiple choice mode of testing doesn't fully comprehend but that are crucial to the ways we live, work, and learn."
