Mozilla Open Badges integration

Opigno makes possible to integrate your platform with Opigno Mozilla Open Badges, which will make possible to give a gamification dimension to your online trainings.

Students will earn badges and will be able to share them through their Mozilla Backpack.

You will first need to enable the related application from the Apps management interface (please refer to the section dedicated to Apps management for more details - Apps management).

You will then be able to create very easily badges by defining a name, an image, a short description, and a text explaining the criteria required to obtain the badge.

Badges are added to the profile of users successfully finishing the related course (or class).

Create a new badge

To add a new badge to a course (or a class) simply go into the bottom of the course (or class) settings interface into the « badge settings » section, and click on the "Add new badge" button.

The interface to create a new badge appears:

You will have to define:

A title for the badge
A description for the badge
An image for the badge
The criteria to be met to get the badge

Edit an existing badge

Once the badge created, you can very easily edit it by clicking on the "Edit" button:

Notes :

In order to use the minimum required disk space, every badge that were not granted to anybody and that is modified will be deleted and replaced by the new version.
It's not possible to delete a badge that has been granted to some users. But it's possible to disable the badge system for a course (or class) by unchecking the following option in the course (or class) settings:

Display badges on the user profile

Every user will be able to decide if he want to display (or not) the badges he gained on his profile. They will simply have to check (or not) the option "Show badges on my profile" in their user profile edition interface:

Linking Opigno with Mozilla Backpack

Every user has the possibility to link his Opigno profile with his Mozilla Backpack. This will make possible to sent into the backpack the badges gained on Opigno, and display inside the user profile on Opigno the collections of badges from the backpack.
Badges gained on Opigno can be manually sent into the backpack by clicking on the synchronization button.
You will have first to authenticate on your Mozilla Backpack account, and then click on the "Connect a Backpack" button inside your Opigno profile settings:

You will be redirected to the Mozilla website where you will have to grant permission to your Opigno platform by clicking on the related button:

Then, back to the Opigno platform, you will be able to see two additional buttons making possible to manually trigger a synchronization of badges with your backpack, and to disconnect your backpack.

You will also be able to enable the automatic synchronization of the badges you earn on your Opigno platform by checking the option "Synchronize new badge automatically with the backpack":
