Badges may be managed at the course or site level. (Note that teachers in a course cannot by default access site badges unless they have been given a system role with badge managing capabilities) For information on adding course or site badges, see Using badges

Managing course badges

  • If course badges have been enabled in Administration>Site administration>Badges>Badges settings, then a teacher will see a link Administration>Course administration>Badges>Managing badges. This will show a list of badges created and available for allocation, along with actions which may be performed on them:

    • Badge status: Badges may be made available or not by enabling or disabling with the "eye" icon or enable/disable button
    • Criteria : This shows how the badge is awarded
    • Recipients: This shows the number of users awarded the badge
    • Actions: The following actions are available

Note: Availability of enable and disable access actions depends on the current status of a badge (e.g. if a badge is available to users, "disable access" icon will be shown).

Before a badge has been issued to at least one user, all its details and settings can be edited by clicking the "Edit badge" action icon.

Managing site badges

  • Badges should be enabled by default in Administration>Site administration>Advanced features and can be managed from Administration>Site administration>Badges>Manage badges. (For information on adding site badges see Using badges
  • All existing badges are displayed in a table showing current badge image, name, status, criteria, how many users have already earned this badge and a set of available actions.
The Manage badges screen for site admins
  • Other settings are the same as for course badges.
