Hints & Tips

• Badges are part of the “Gamification” extension module. To use this function, the “Gamification” licence module must be active, LRS architecture in place and the “Badges” navigation menu must be configured.

• An important note for rules in Badges is they only consider future learning activities and past learning activities are not taken into account on first rule creation or if changes are made to existing rules. Also, if no condition is specified, the rule always applies for the respective action of the learner and shall be considered as fulfilled!

• The recommended size for the badge is 250px or a multiple of this size.
