Overview
With this plugin you can create badge templates (so called pool badges) which can be used to simplify creating badges in all courses of your moodle system. These templates can be organized in categories and exported to a XML file to share them with others.
Installation
- Download the BS Badge Pool plugin.
- Unzip it into your moodle/local/ directory.
- Make sure you have badges enabled on your Moodle system
- Login to your Moodle as administrator and go to "Site administration -> Notifications" to trigger the installation process.
Using the plugin
Administrators and managers can go to the badge pool management page on "Site administration -> Badges -> Badge Pool -> Manage Badge Pool" to add a new badge template to the badge pool. For a template you have to set the regualr badge information: badge name and description, an image, name and contact of badge issuer, expiry date and email message with options to attach the badge and notify the badge creator. Addtionally you have to set a category.
The badge templates are organized in categories which you can create and manage by going to "Site administration -> Badges -> Badge Pool -> Manage Badge Pool Categories". Badge pool categories can be deleted when no badge template is assigned to it.
Export / Import pool badges
On the badge pool management page you can export badge templates to a XML file and of course import them.
There are two options to export the pool badges. You can either export a whole category with all assigned pool badges or you can select single pool badges.
When importing pool badges you can select if origin categories in the XML file should be kept and be created on your Moodle system or you can choose a specific category to create the pool badges in.
Using pool badges in a course
Trainers can use the badge templates to create a course badge by going to "Course administration -> Badges -> Badge Pool", then choosing a category and klicking on "Use this Badge". After that the ordinary procedre begins with adding badge criteria and enabling access to it.
