What are achievements?

You can use Blackboard achievements to create opportunities for students to earn recognition for their work. You designate criteria for issuing achievements to students in the form of both badges and certificates.

Students can see which badges and certificates they have earned and what is required to receive additional recognition. They can gain insight into learning progression toward defined competencies.

Students can publish badges to the Badge Backpack and transport evidence of their learning outside of Blackboard Learn.

Instructors can create three types of achievements:

Course Completion (requires a certificate; a badge is optional) Milestone (badge only) Custom (can be either a certificate or a badge)

How to create an achievement?

Your achievements appear in content areas and in the achievements tool.

LockDown Browser will directly go to the iLearn (Blackboard) login page. Students will then login...
