After creating the Badge Provider entity, the next step is to set up your badges. Badges in the Skillable TMS attach to achievements and use the badge template IDs in the external badge provider (currently Credly) to ensure the correct badge is issued when the achievement is earned.
Create a Badge
To create a Badge:
In the Admin menu, in the Badges group, click Create Badge. This will open the Create Badge page.
On the Basic Information tab, set the Name for the badge. Best practice is to have the name match the name of the badge template in the external provider.
Add a Description that describes what it takes to earn the badge. This field is optional but is useful to help distinguish between badges with similar names.
Ensure Organization is set to the organization that will manage the badge. This defaults to your organization.
Next to Badge Provider, select Choose.
Search for and select the appropriate Badge Provider entity and select OK.
In the Badge Provider Template Id field, enter the Badge Template ID from the external provider (Credly). When the badge is earned in the Skillable TMS, it sends this template ID to them to issue the correct external badge to the user.
On the Availability tab, add your child Organizations that can associate this badge with their Achievements.
Select Save.
Badges are digital credential for completing a class or a course which can be assigned manually on the class roster or course assignment. When paired with an Achievement the badge can be automatically triggered by a set of actions such as completing a course or launching a lab. Badges are provided through Credly/Acclaim and can be shared on social media or as email signatures.
Skillable's Training Management System. A learning management system designed to streamline the delivery, tracking, and reporting of your training programs.
An organization is assigned to each entity in the TMS, such as, users, classes, subscriptions, and courses. The organization is a basis to determine access given based on roles within the organization and management over the organization.
Organizations are the containers in which all objects in Skillable Studio reside. Each organization has two child orgs, Development and Production. Development is used for content creation and testing. Production is used only for content that is ready for consumption. Organizations also provide one of the security boundaries within the Skillable Studio platform.
Achievements are a feature to recognize an accomplishment with the TMS. An achievement is automatically triggered by an action being completed in the platform, such as, a user launched a lab, completed a lab, completed a course or a set of courses. An achievement can be associated with a badge so that the badge is automatically assigned when the task is completed.
