It seems strange that the education community is willing to adopt new technologies and develop new theories and methods of education, but it can't arrive at a way to get rid of grading. Assessment drives pedagogy, so if assessment doesn't change, it's difficult to teach in new ways. It's bad pedagogy, and needs to be challenged.
