Northeastern U. Credit via IBM Cognitive Class

[cookderosa]

This reminds me a little of the micromaster's concept. So, I've read all the links you posted, and it appears as if you'd have to apply/enroll in order to generate the grad credit (1 class). My question, which is the same as with micromasters, is what is the tipping point that allows you to actually get a transcript?
I'm also curious what the badges come over as- maybe just generally tagged as "elective" which might not be "as" useful as a named class?.... not sure.
