The Awards tool allows instructors to grant badges or certificates for actions or completions within a course. These items are course specific, though a student can share earned badges to their Profile to allow other instructors to see what they earned in another course. Certificates can be downloaded and printed for record keeping or sharing. From within the Awards tool, you can see (in the format of a classlist) who has earned which badges within your course. Tutorials for students related to the Awards tool specifically are at the bottom of this page, and also on the D2L for Students page.
