12. You can set the badge to be awarded manually (Manual issue by role) – i.e. you can award it to whichever students you judge to have earned it (this is assigned to a certain role, eg Editing Teacher) – or on module completion (which must be defined in Moodle) - OR set Activity completion (likely to be the most common)

13. Choose “Activity Completion” and on the next page select the activity or activities that have completion checking enabled in your course.  If no activities have completion checking enabled then you won’t be able to progress.

14. Ensure it is set to ALL of the activities not ANY or the badge will be too easy to get!

15. Click 'Save'

16. Once this is done, you need to “Enable Access”.  This activates the badge and it is ready for use.

If it is awarded by activity completion, then it is automatic: whenever a  user completes the activity or activities you picked they will be redirected to the badge where they can download a copy of it. It is also attached to their Moodle profile.

To manually award the badgbadge, in the module:

• Click the 'Cogwheel (Actions icon)Click Moreactions' icon and select 'More...'
• Scroll down to Badges > Click and select Manage Badgesbadges
