Issued badges removing and archiving

[lukascelinak]

Hi,
i have one question, about issued badges,
when is completion cleared, i think it would be fine for removing issued badges on that completion too.

I can make implementation for this.

That was something I really wanted to do but I couldn't work it out when I was working on this, either remove badges or allow the badge to be updated/reissued. That would be really great if you could work it out.

removing badges feels like the wrong thing to do to me - surely once badges are issued, you have it forever and instead a "new" badge is issued which builds on or replaces the previous badge?

Yes, in though about this, im planing to build it in two ways, first one is removing them or add end date of issue, (client needs) and second way is to keep previous (maybe end its validation) and make some copy as new badge for next level/year/etc for repeating courses. Thats why i didnt started to dev that stuff i need more time to rethink logic for this.

yeah - I'd want to take a step back and look at implementing better support in core for "expiry" of a badge before I tried to do something in recompletion.

The other thing to look at would be "are badges the right thing to use" - HQ pushed a new certificate tool into the plugins db recently which might be better? - we just need a way to re-issue or build on top of the existing certification/badge rather than deleting it.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I agree that being able to delete badges (and competencies!) would be immensely helpful - particularly when they are used to track levels of achievement which require:

• a selection of separate courses and activities to be completed,
• at least one course needs regular recertification on a per student basis,
  and
• The level of achievement/badge: is deleted for that user if that course has expired.

re-issue or build on top of the existing certification/badge rather than deleting it",

I agree it would be ideal to have an alternative in Moodle Standard (non-Workplace), however the only other way I have found is to use categories in the gradebook. It gets the data for teachers, but its not especially user friendly and there's no sense of achievement for the student :)

The certificate plugins I have seen (including the Workplace plugin) don't issue automatically (unless using Workplace), they have to be "viewed" or issued manually.
