Once you've completed the initial steps of the Course creation process, you can set up a Reward to assign to the Course, a specific Section or Lesson, from the final step:
Add a Reward
You can add Rewards to a Course, by using one of the two options provided, giving a smoother way to assign Badges and Certificates to Users.
When creating a Course you can:
Assign a Reward based on completing a Lesson or Section
Assign a Reward based on completing the entire Course
To get started:
1. Visit Step Four of the Course Editor, and head to the Rewards section
2. Turn the toggle button on, to activate the option of adding a Reward.
3. Clicking Add Reward will provide the Badge and Certificate options from a small drop-down list.
🏆 🎉 Specifically for organisations with Credly accounts, you will also see this option, once your integration has been set up. Learn more about creating Credly badges here: Integrating with Credly.
Adding a Certificate
Add the Certificate name (e.g, "Marketing Certificate"), title (e.g, "Marketing Presentation Skills - Stage 4"), signatory name and a copy of their signature.
You can assign a Certificate to any assigned Users, who meet the criterion for one of the following options, before clicking Save Certificate to finish:
When the Course is completed - This option allows you to automatically assign the Reward to any assigned User that completes all Lessons/Sections of the Course. This includes passing any Assessments included in the Course, that have a passing grade requirement.
When specific Lessons are completed - This option allows you to automatically assign the Reward to any assigned User that completes only the required Lessons or Sections, specified.
Adding a Badge
Add the Badge name, a description, and select a badge design, from the preset templates.
You can alternatively, upload a custom badge design, of your own.
You can set the criteria for assigning the Reward - the same as mentioned in the Certificates section above.
Notes ✨: Remember the following...
Once a Reward is published, the Author can only amend the Reward name and description. The template and assignment criteria (Course completion or Lesson/Section completion), cannot be changed, once the content is published.
If the assignment criteria is set to "specific Lessons are completed", and a User begins those Lessons, you can't amend the option chosen.
Rewards are not allocated based on the mark obtained in an Assessment.
Once a Reward has been earned, it stays within the User's Profile. Amending the learning within the content, or replacing a file (SCORM Courses) does not revoke the Certificate or Badge from the User.
If you'd like to upload your own Badge, we suggest a size of 100x100px.
