Activity Badges

1 Requirements

Activity badges are awarded for activities that are not directly associated with an object. Activity badges are awarded automatically. They are globally configured by the platform administrator in the ILIAS administration panel. 

All activity badges are awarded automatically.

The administrator can select which of the activity badges should be issued and configure them in accordance with the spirit of the organisation: 

Activity Badges related to Personal Profile 

• Badge for publishing personal profile: Administrators can select which entries of the personaal profile have to be completed and published to win the badge. Once a user has completed and published those parts of the profile the badge is awarded automatically. This is a playful incentive to complete the profile. 
• Badge for portfolio-used-as-profile: The badge is awarded once a user uses a portfolio as personal profile. 

Activity Badges related to time spent using ILIAS 

• Badge for time logged-in ("marathon-badge"):  Administrators can set a minimum amout of time in hours and minutes, that users have to spent in one session  to win the badge. Once a user has spent this amount of time online in one session the badge is awarded. 
• Badge for point in time of log-in ("lark-badge or nightowl-badge"): Administrators set a time "from hh:mm to hh:mm" in which logging into ILIAS will win a badge. Users that are active within this time range will be awarded with this badge. 
• Weekend-badge: Users receive the badge when they are logged-in on weekends. This badge cannot be configured. 

Activity badges related to creating things 

• Badge for creating many objects: Administrators can set a minimum amout of objects a user has to create to win the badge. Technically the badge is awarded for "ownership of objects": deleted objects are not counted. The type of object is irrelevant. A user is awarded with thais badge once he or she has created the specified number of objects. 
• Badge for creating notes or comments: Users receive the badge when they are create a note or comment. This badge cannot be configured. 

Activity badges related to networking

• Badge for many contacts: Administrators can set a minimum number of contacts a user has to have to win the badge. A user is awarded with this badge once he or she has made the saif number of connections. 

Activity badges related to competences

• Badge for competence levels: Administrators can set a competence level to be met for that badge to be awarded. Once users attain that said level of competence they win the badge. 

The concept of Activity badges is not limited to the ones outlined above. ILIAS could offer some or all of those above or others that do not directly to objects but rather to global acitivities.
