Badges settings
From MoodleDocs
Course administration settings
- A teacher can add and manage badges in their course if the administrator has enabled course badges in Administration>Site administration>Badges settings.
- They will see a link to badges in Administration>Course administration>Badges. where badges may be managed and added.
Site administration settings
- Badges are enabled by default and can be disbled in Settings>Site administration>Advanced features. (Note that disabling the feature once badges have been awarded does not prevent those badges being verifed by external backpacks.)
- The site settings for badges are located in Settings>Site administration>Badges>Badges settings
Default badge issuer
Here you set the name and email address of the issuer. The name will appear where the badges are displayed and might typically be the name of the organisation.
