Course Badges

OVERVIEW

Badges allow you to celebrate learners' achievement 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 a specific course and are related to the activities inside this course.

ADD A NEW BADGE TO YOUR COURSE

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



Step 2: Give your badge a (1) name, (2) description and (3) image. 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

Step 1: Navigate to the "Manage badges" page.
