Some courses have badges associated with them. As a learner, you can earn a badge if you meet certain criteria in your course. The criteria you need to meet should be listed in your course overview which you can find by selecting:

  • Overview on your course card on your Dashboard, or

  • Overview from the left menu from within your course.

Some of the common criteria are:

  • gaining 100% progress by viewing every page and completing all tasks (including any that you reset),

  • participating in an in-page discussion, and

  • achieving a certain percentage in a quiz.

For more information on achieving 100% course progress see the article here: How do I complete my course to get 100% progress?

About your badge

You can also select About this badge on the right of the course Overview page to reveal further information about your badge requirements.

If you don’t see the requirements for achieving your course badge in your Overview, check with your facilitator. Each course will have it's own badge requirements.

Auto-awarded or facilitator awarded badges

If you meet all the criteria, your badge may be automatically awarded or awarded by your facilitator. A facilitator might award a badge manually if they need to check any additional requirements for the badge, such as attendance at a workshop, or completion of a case study assessment.
