How do I create an OL achievement/badge for my course?


OpenLearning has a range of features for creating and issuing achievements to learners.

Achievements (previously called Badges on OpenLearning) are a great way to highlight that a learner is contributing meaningfully to the course community.


Go to Course Setup > Achievements.

Type in the Name for your achievement and the Description.

Decide if you'd like to award the achievement manually, based on kudos or on course completion.

You can also issue an achievement based on page completion, which we'll explain later in this article.

  • Manually: A facilitator in the course will be able to select the learners who should receive the achievement via Administer Learners  > Learners.
  • Based on kudos: You can enter a minimum kudos that a learner must earn before receiving the achievement. The achievement will be issued automatically once the learner achieves the specified number of kudos.
  • Upon course completion: When a learner completes the course they will automatically receive the achievement. A course is considered completed when all of the activities have been released and the learner has completed all of them (i.e., their progress is 100% after all activities have been marked completed).
  • Automatically based on page completion: You can set up an achievement upon completion of a particular page. Read about it later in this article.

Click Click to select an achievement image.

You can decide whether to design your achievement in our achievement editor or if you'd like to upload one yourself.

Click Select.

Click Create Achievement. 


Go to Course Setup > Achievements. 

To edit: Click on the achievement > the pencil icon > Edit.

  Note: You can only edit the title and description of an achievement once created.

 

To delete: Click on the achievement> the pencil icon > Delete.

  


Go to Course Setup > Achievement and set up your achievement.

Select Award this achievement only manually.

Go to the course page for which you want to award the learners the completion achievement.

Click on Settings at the top right of the page.

Under Completion, select the name of the achievement from the drop-down list.

  

 If you need an achievement to be awarded at any other level, i.e., module or course, add it to the last page in the module or course.

    Is it possible to allow access to pages according to badges?

      Misha Zujev Hi there! Unfortunately, we don't have any feature like that. However, you can set the course to only allow access to the next module when 100% of the previous module is completed. 

      To do this:

      • Go to Administer Students > Timeline
      • Change the course from "Open Mooc" to "Self Paced"

      I hope that helps!
