OBF – Create a milestone badge

1. Log in to Open Badge Factory.

This will open your dashboard.                                                                                                             

2. Click 'Creator tools' from the navigation menu at the top of your screen.

This will open the ‘Creator tools / Badge Library’ page.

3. Click ‘Milestone badges’ from the list of options on the left-hand side of your screen.

This will open a list of any existing milestone badges that have been created with your account.

4. Click ‘+ Create new milestone badge’.

5. Click ‘+’ under "Pick milestone badge".

This will open a list of all badges that have been published to your OBF account. Each badge appears as a card.

6. Select the final badge that will need to be issued automatically upon completion of the pathway.

Next you can build the pathway of badges that will lead up to your milestone.

7. Click ‘+’ under "Pick required badges for milestone".

This will open a list of all badges that have been published to your OBF account. Each badge appears as a card.

8. Click a badge to appear in your pathway.

This will enter the badge into the pathway.

9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have added all required badges into your pathway.

10. Select whether an individual must earn all badges in the pathway, or a minimum number.

If selecting ‘Minimum number of badges required’, you can then enter a number into the box.

NOTE:

Ensure that this choice is accurately reflected in your final badge. E.g. if your final badge is a meta badge that lists every badge in the pathway in the earning criteria, you must select ‘All badges required’. If you intend to select a minimum number of badges, ensure that the final badge does not state that earners have been issued with all badges in the pathway.

11. When you are happy with your choices, click ‘Save’.

You will be redirected to the ‘Milestone badges’ page where your new milestone badge appears as a card.
