Knowledge, Learning, Community

Microsoft has redesigned its educator community, and while there are some nice points to the design - I can see the badges drawing people into taking courses, for example - when you're there, if you click on the 'Education' link in the upper right hand corner, you go to a whole different education site from which there is no obvious link back to the education community. I now have one badge (pictured) which I got merely by joining. 74 more to go. I also earned a certificate for passing the Office 365 course (by taking the exam; who needs to study?). The site is interesting because it's sort of this half-way point between learning community and MOOC system.
