MEDICAL STUDENTS at several universities do not receive grades, and in those schools it's almost impossible to fail, so it isn't just online learning that has this problem. The solution, IMHO, is exit testing. There need to be specific tests (NOT government based) that determine whether or not you've mastered the material - whether form online learning or a bricks and mortar university.
To put this into a relevant perspective, consider the Bar Exam as a test of whether or not your law education has made you competent as an attorney. Hillary, after graduating from one of the ridiculously and pathetically overacted law schools (Yale in this intstance) failed the Washington DC bar exam. People from much ‘lesser’ law schools, per pedigree, passed the exam that year. What does that tell you about the US higher education system? Think about it.

One of the dullest intellects I ever encountered got a PhD in psychology from CU Boulder. What a dumbass. And that was back in the 1970s.
Thing is, almost all the classes I took required one to demonstrate a command of the material. Even archery and fencing. The proof of that system, I think, is reflected in the scores I got on the GRE and the LSAT.
I hate being put into a position of defending Yale’s law school but that could be more of a function of Hellary’s laziness & sense of entitlement. Not necessarily an indictment of the quality of the law school.

credentialing and licensing occurs already in most fields and those agencies are the ones who require the college and grad school tickets.
