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

How to create an achievement?
