Badge redemption is received poorly by our students

Hi Mindy_Allison, thanks for your response.

Another issue that I failed to mention earlier, which hampers badge redemption, is a cultural aspect. In the Netherlands, there exists a particular sentiment that discourages overt demonstrations of achievement. Many students in the Netherlands view claiming a badge as a form of flaunting, which is considered inappropriate. Additionally, some individuals perceive it as an immature behavior.

While this concern may seem insignificant to Microsoft US, we have been receiving feedback in the Netherlands questioning the purpose of showcasing or boasting about a course completed. Some individuals express sentiments such as, "I am an adult and do not require such recognition" or "Why should I engage in self-promotion for a learning achievement?"

Consequently, these students do not perceive us as a favorable Learning Partner, which has a negative impact on our business.

Kind regards,
Marnix Wolf
