This (3 page PDF) is one of four articles in a special issue on badges and microcredentials in the Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability. The concern in this paper is that "If assessment of current course units does not enable a determination that learning outcomes have been met... then they cannot become micro-credentials because they do not meet the minimum requirements of adequacy." Microcredentials map to specific skills or competencies; course evaluations do not. It's a good statement of the problem, but of course this discussion could have been carried forward much further.
