Managing And Awarding Badges

Administrators can create, modify and award badges to users. These show up on user profiles similarly to other social networks such as Digg and Reddit, or to merit badges in scouting. Badges mark something a user has done, rather than who they are.

1 Creating a new Badge

The list of badges can be found on the admin console under "badges". In the right hand column should be a form for creating new badges; if this form is not visible you may need additional permissions. Permission to manage badges may be granted to teachers, at present it is only available to the 'admin' group.
