Open Badges

LEAST supports IMS Global Open Badges v2.0 — digitally verifiable credentials that learners can add to LinkedIn, email signatures, or CVs. Badges are cryptographically signed and publicly verifiable via a hosted assertion endpoint.

Every badge has:

• Name and description — what the badge represents
• Criteria — what the earner did to earn it
• Image — the badge artwork (PNG, 512×512 recommended)
• Issuer — the organisation issuing the badge

1. Navigate to Admin → Badges → New Badge
2. Enter name, description, and criteria text
3. Upload badge image
4. Set the issuer organisation
5. Save — the badge class is now available for issuance

1. Navigate to Admin → Badges → Issue Badge
2. Select the badge class and the learner
3. Add an optional note
4. Click Issue

Set a badge to auto-issue when a learner passes a specific quiz:

1. Open the badge class → Triggers
2. Add a Quiz Pass trigger
3. Select the quiz
4. Set the pass threshold (e.g. 80%)
5. Save — LEAST issues the badge automatically when any learner passes

Issue a badge to multiple learners at once:

1. Navigate to Admin → Badges → Batch Issue
2. Select a badge class
3. Upload a CSV of learner email addresses or select a cohort
4. Preview and confirm

When a badge is issued, the learner automatically receives an email containing:

• Badge name and description
• Criteria met
• Link to the public badge assertion (verifiable by third parties)
• Instructions for adding to LinkedIn

When a badge is issued, LEAST dispatches an xAPI statement to your configured LRS:

• Verb: earned
• Object: the badge class IRI
• Result: includes the badge assertion URL

Configure your LRS endpoint at Admin → xAPI Settings.

Each badge assertion is publicly verifiable at: /openbadge/assertion.php?id={assertionId}

The assertion JSON follows Open Badges v2.0 and can be verified by Credly, Badgr, LinkedIn, and any OBv2-compatible platform.

1. Navigate to Admin → Badges → Issued Badges
2. Find the learner and badge
3. Click Revoke and provide a reason
4. The assertion is marked as revoked — verification endpoints return revocation status

Earned badges appear on:

• The learner's public profile page
• The learner's “My Badges” dashboard panel
• The organisation's member roster (with badge count)
