This article takes a critical look at microcredentials as depoyed by higher education institutions. "If our modus operandi in higher education is creating courses, then likely that's how we'll try to address every learning and recognition opportunity we encounter... But it's unfortunate if our ideas stop there because there are other ways to assess and recognize learning beyond the campus." In his criticism, Doug Belshaw also observes, "In theory, we could develop practical microcredentials for all the contexts. But who has the resources to do that? You know who has the resources to at least try? LinkedIn, and huge companies like it."
