Thanks. Right now I'm just trying to make sure that Moodle can issue badges the way I want. I plan to have 4 badges per assignment, ranging from 1-star to 4-star representing a "D" to "A" grade. It's doable, but Moodle doesn't make it as slick or as easy as I'd like. Any consensus on issuing badges to a failing grade? I was planning on issuing the results as letters as well as badges, with a 35-40% being "MF" for marginal fail, and <35 as "F". I'm leaning towards only issuing the grade letter to non-passing students and the passing ones get the badges as well as the letter.

Welcome! It's just a space without that many people in it. I kind of thought we could take it over as a new place for edu-conversation? ;)

That sounds great. We've been in touch via email over the summer, and I was at the CELT conference when you spoke in Galway last June. I'm quietly piloting badges at the moment, never used them until now. I'm writing my proposal for my doctorate at the moment, on the subject of designing a pathway using badges.
