      Manually awarding a badge

       

      Manually awarded badges from Badgr.com do not appear in the Badgr for Canvas LTI app. Visit our Bulk award section for more information about awarding badges to groups of recipients.

      Once a badge has been awarded, the recipient information is baked and unchangeable. If a change to the recipient identifier needs to be made to a badge after it's been awarded, issuers can make this change by first revoking the badge and then awarding it again with the correct data.

       

      To award an individual badge:

      1. Sign in to your Badgr account and select the Issuers tab from the navigation bar at the top of the screen.
      2. Select the issuer of the badge you would like to award.
      3. Select the badge you would like to award.
      4. Select Award badge.

      From the badge award page issuers will fill out the following fields: 

      1. Enter the recipient name (optional).
      2. Enter an email address into the Recipient information field. The badge will be awarded to this email address.
        • You may also award a badge to a URL or phone number
      3. To send a notification email to the earner, along with a copy of their badge, mark the Notify recipient by email checkbox.Recipient information
      4. The issue date automatically selects the current date. You may adjust the date if needed.Issue date
      5. Set an Expiration date for your badge (optional). Expiration date
      6. Enter a Narrative (optional).Narative
      7. Evidence may be included (optional). Select Add additional evidence. Enter a  description and/or evidence URL.Evidence


      Once all required fields have been filled out click the Award badge button. For information on bulk awarding badges see our article here.

      The date/time you see on your badge award for the issued on/expires on may slightly differ from what is expected due to the local time zone being different from the issuer's time zone.

      Editing awarded badges

      After a badge has been awarded users have the ability to edit the fields that are set at the time of the award. This includes recipient name, award date, narrative and evidence. However, the email a badge has been awarded to can not be changed after it's been awarded. 

      To edit an awarded badge:

      1. From the badge award list find the badge award you wish to edit.
      2. Select the ellipsis for that badge award.
      3. From the list choose Edit.Edit awarded badge

      Users are then able to update a recipient name, retroactively add a narrative or evidence and adjust an award date.

      Deleting a badge

       
      If you wish to completely remove a defined badge from your issuer profile, you may do so after revoking all the awarded instances.
      1. To delete a badge that has already been awarded, you'll first need to revoke the badge from each recipient that it was awarded to. See Revoking badges.
      2. To delete a badge that has not yet been awarded click the box with the ellipses, then select Delete from the drop-down menu.
