This article explains how to create a badge, within a module


TABLE OF CONTENTS


General information

A module is a container, gathering different types of tasks, for a student to act upon. The different types of task have been connected to a progress measure, which means the module can react upon a student performance. The module combines the measured tasks, into a completed module.


The badge is a way to show the module, with extra information, to the student. The badge will appear as a green checkmark on the student desktop, for each module.
