Course Badges

OVERVIEW

Badges allow you to celebrate learners' achievements and show progress. Badges may be awarded based on a variety of chosen criteria and may be displayed on a learner's profile. Course badges are available to users enrolled in a specific course and are related to the activities inside this course.
USE CASE EXAMPLE:

In a Learning Management System (LMS) for internal staff training, course badges can serve as effective motivators and indicators of achievement. Here's a use case example of how course badges can be implemented:

Scenario: A medium-sized tech company, "TechLearn Inc.," uses an LMS to train and up-skill their internal staff. TechLearn Inc. wants to enhance employee engagement and motivation in their training programs by implementing a course badge system.

By implementing a course badge system in their LMS, TechLearn Inc. successfully boosts employee engagement, encourages skill development, and fosters a culture of continuous learning among their internal staff. Badges serve as tangible proof of achievements and provide employees with a sense of pride in their professional growth within the organization.

ADD A NEW BADGE TO YOUR COURSE

Step 1: In the relevant course, click on "Course admin", followed by "Add a new badge."



Step 2: Give your badge a name (1), description (2), and image (3). Optionally, you can specify the badge version and language and decide whether you would like to specify the badge image author's details and display these on the badge page.  



Step 3: By default, your badge will be set to never expire. You can optionally change this and set a fixed or relative expiry date. 



Once you're happy, you can click on "Create badge."

Step 4: You can now continue to define the criteria for your badge by selecting your preferred criteria-type from the "Add badge criteria" drop-down list and following the prompts. 



Users who meet the specified criteria will receive your badge and it will be displayed on their user profile. 



MANAGE COURSE BADGES
