Good discussion of micro-credentials, and in particular, how we trust that a micro-credential is worth anything in the first place. After all, anyone can issue a micro-credential (I actually built it into some of my MOOCs years ago). But why trust them? Wendy Palmer looks to food lables as an analogy. "I keep coming back to the food certification example. We have different standards and certification arrangements for different purposes, whether that's organic production, food safety or country of origin. Each tells us something different about the product. We don't expect one certification to cover everything, but we do need to understand what each certification means, who is responsible for it and what standards have been met."
