Learner Records, Achievements, Recognition

Theme Overview

Increased property options and editing functionalities, frequent learner progress updates 

What value could this provide to users?

  • Able to have a multi select property type in custom badge properties, so that I can select more than one from the predefined property options.
  • Able to re-order custom metadata fields as part of the editing functionality, so that I can re-arrange these fields even after submission.
  • Able to see a larger image of the badge on the description page, so that I can differentiate between institutional brand and credential level.
  • Able to change between automatic and manual awarding of a badge, so that I can have greater control and fewer issues that comes with deleting and recreating.
  • Able to receive badge awards right away once progress has been made, so that I can be sure I did everything well.

Would this theme include a functionality that allows for archiving/retire previously awarded badges?

We don't use Badgr since we are K-12 and it isn't COPPA compliant, but I've found it to be a clunky interface within Canvas when testing in some staff courses. I'd love to see some smoother integration of badges all within Canvas and the ability to use badging with our under 13's.
