Open badge site settings


Article Summary

As a Site Administrator (or user with the badges:manageglobalsettings capability) you can configure the general Badge settings by going to Quick-access menu > Badges.

These options set the default values for fields in a new badge form, but can be changed by a badge creator if necessary. 

Setting
Description
Notes

Badge issuer name

Set the name of the issuer.

The name will appear where the badges are displayed and may be the name of a specific individual (such as a Trainer) or the name of a group or organisation.

Badge issuer contact details

Set the email address of the issuer.

This email address will be displayed where an individual is viewing the details of a displayed badge. For Open Badges v2.0 backpacks, this email address is used for authentication when publishing badges to a backpack.

Salt for hashing recipient's email address 

Using a hash allows backpack services to confirm the badge earner without having to expose their email address. This setting should only use numbers and letters.

For recipient verification purposes, please avoid changing this setting once issuing badges.

Enable course badges 

Allow badges to be created and awarded in the course context.

Course Creators and Editing Trainers will be able to create their own course-level badges.

C016 - Badges(2)The Totara Academy has a whole course dedicated to using Open badges in Totara. Here you can learn more on how to use open badges, see best practice, and give it a go yourself.
