An external backpack allows you to collect and display Open Badges from multiple sources.
You can allow users to connect their badges to external backpacks with the following steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Badges > Backpack settings.
- Check the box for External backpack connection.
- Select which backpack users can connect to using the Active external backpack dropdown setting.
- Click Save changes.
You can see a list of backpacks by navigating to Quick-access menu > Badges > Manage backpacks. Here you can see which backpack is the Active external backpack and Edit settings for certain backpacks. Additionally you can test a backpack's settings by clicking the tick icon () for that backpack. You will then see a screen indicating whether Totara was able to connect to the backpack, along with any error messages.
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.
