Badges reissued after expiry

Hi,

Can a badge that has been previously awarded be reissued after it had expired and the user has met the course requirements again? The course page has a certification that resets the completion activities and course completion records but it doesn't seem to reset the badge.

Thanks,

Winnie

Hi Winnie

A user is not able to re earn an expired badge - putting an expiration date adds a criteria to the badge so a new badge would need to meet the same criteria which it can't as the valid date has passed.

A workaround for this is to choose different activities requiring completion for different badges in the same course. Each activity can have access restrictions with dates on them, which means you can use this to control activity completion by date.

regards

Thanks Craig for the reply regarding this. I will rethink how I use the badge function.
