    skeptics argue that introducing digital badges into informal education settings-where most agree they would have the greatest impact initially-could bring too much structure and hierarchy to the very places students go to seek refuge from formal achievement tracking.

  • Traditional degrees have the great advantage of being simple and universally understood. The problem is that they provide little information about what students actually know and are becoming more expensive all the time.

      Possible connections to STEM Scouts here. Scouts might use this site to gather data in locations other than their own, for example, or may collaborate on other people's projects. Should there be a badge for supporting other people's STEM work?
