When CTP was launched it was a training program which came with badges which were designed to add an element of fun while encouraging learning through gamification.
The badges were controversial from the start…some people took to them immediately while others resisted and dismissed them as a fad, a gimmick and some sort of misguided childish foolishness.
I remember people saying they would never catch on, that they were pointless and even a stupid waste of time.
Well when I last looked the number of badges which had been claimed stood at 19,436,282.
By my roughest or rough calculations I think we should hit the 20 million mark towards the later end of next week…possibly on Friday or Saturday.
Not bad going for stupid, childish badges eh?
WTG us all 😉
WOW that is a lot of badges claimed awesome guys.
BIG up CTP and the community. 🙂
That is truly, truly epic. WTG!
That is HUGE
Awesome sauce achievement! Congrats TimTech!
Wow way to go, that is a lot of ads and a lot of clicks to obtain all those badges.
Good thing they are digital, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to store them all.
People like stuff–that’s why we all have lots of pretty, shiny crap in our houses (and everybody has some bling of some kind). Why would it be different online? Why wouldn’t we want some kind of reward or atta-girl while we work?
Badges fulfill a lot of needs in a lot of different ways. You didn’t have to have a psychology degree to figure out that this was going to be a winner or to know now why it is.
Thats a massive number
Congrats to the CTP community on this fantastic milestone!
