MOOCs often trigger the development of online communities, however it is usually difficult to engage participants in meaningful interactions with each other. Often, in this context, the use of gamification strategies motivates participants and decrease potential withdrawals. In a MOOC entitled “Badges: how to use?” targeted to teachers and trainers, a tool to endorse badges between members was used. The aim of the suggested task was to provide an experience with Badges to the participants, but also to promote the interaction between them. Through the reading of the individual presentations each participant should support one of the available badges, being awarded the badge with more support. This action has triggered a large number of interactions that are analyzed in this article. Initially one-to-many interactions like group posts occurred, and then we verified a growing number of one-to-one interactions such as comments and endorsement for badges that required a lot more effort. We found that the use of badges disinhibited the participation of members and that they recognized the activity as fun. However, more studies are needed to validate this approach.
