New iLearn Feature – Badges

Who doesn’t like getting a sticker or stamp of approval?  Now you can award students digital “Badges” in iLearn.  This new feature is great at motivating students as they appear in their profile and can be seen by others.

Teacher Robert Harrison at Edsel Ford High School has been using Badges with his students.  Badges can automatically be awarded to students based on completion of an assignment or grade on a test.  They can also be given out by the teacher to individual students as needed.

Here is what a student profile looks like after being awarded badges.  Click to enlarge photo.
