How do I manually award a badge to a learner in a Group?
Instructors can award badges to learners manually. In a Group that is not connected to a course in an LMS via the Credentials LTI, all badges are awarded manually. In a Group that is connected to a course in an LMS, badges may be awarded manually or automatically based on completion of course modules and assignments.
