Knowledgewebb now has badges!

What the heck are badges, you ask? They’re our way of making training and learning more fun. As you take classes, attend webinars and live chats, participate in our discussion forums and read other content on the Knowledgewebb site, you’ll start to unlock a number of virtual awards. For example, if you complete five live chats, you’ll win the Chatty Cathy badge, which will be displayed on your Member Profile page as well as next to your username in the discussion forums and anywhere on the site where you leave comments. If you see badges on another member’s profile that you don’t have yourself, you can roll your mouse over those badges to see what they’re called.

FAQ: Badges

Q: Is there a way to see what all of the badges are and rules for how to earn them?

Badges offer exciting, friendly competition, as you’ll soon learn.
