Moodle: Badges

Badges are an online method of showing that a person has achieved a personal or educational goal, or of marking their progress along the way. They may be endorsed by an official body in that area, or simply represent encouragement by a teacher. 

• Badges can be based upon specific accomplishments, or just be awarded by a user or users with particular roles in a course, such as the primary instructor or TA. 
• Badges may be distributed by an external organization, such as Canvas Badges, site wide, or just in a particular course.
• While badges may be useful for resume-building, they should not be considered an authorized certification by LSU or other standardization or accrediting organizations.
• Badges may be created by instructors, Moodle site administrators, or external badging organizations such as Canvas Badges (if allowed by the site administrators).
