Open Badges supported by Moodle 2.5

After Totara LMS in January, Open Badges is now implemented in Moodle LMS. As of May 15, 2013, all the users of Moodle LMS have the opportunity to issue and display Open Badges. Moodle issues two types Open Badges:

  • Course badges: for course activities, like achieving successfully an assignment. By default, all teachers/tutors can issue course badges.
  • Site badges: for site wide activities, like achieving successfully a set of courses. Thisrequires special permission (role).

Badges can be delivered automatically or manually. Automatic delivery of badges is done by setting a passing grade for a quiz or an assignment in the gradebook — Completion Tracking must be enabled. All the badges issued by Moodle are stored in / pushed to the Mozilla backpack.Moodle also provides an Open Badge Displayer, so learners can display all the badges earned in Moodle and all those stored in their backpack.
