Additional Resources:
Publish the course and modules (see Instructure's How do I create a module?).
Add module completion requirements (see Instructure's How do I add requirements to a module?). See also the image below.
Create an issuer and Badges
Assign badges to modules to award upon module completion.
Trigger badge awards once the course begins.
Module Completion Requirements trigger badge awards and must be assigned to each module for which you wish to award a badge. Teacher and student roles interact best with Badgr. Custom roles are not supported.
NOTE:
Badgr will not award badges when using the Canvas "test student" feature as a teacher. Badgr must have access to an email address to award badges.
Currently, Badgr does not work with Blueprinted courses. Teachers will need to select the default issuer and assign badges to modules in each course.
Troubleshooting
If one or more students completed the module and have not received their badge:
You may need to trigger a badge check
You may need to review your module completion requirements
Badgr may be unable to access student emails
