Personalize your student reward program with Buzz; it's easier than ever!
Badges can be awarded to recognize and encourage students, and they are rapidly becoming the standard in competency-based learning for recognizing and tracking mastery.
Buzz allows for two types of badges:
- Automatic badges are configured to be automatically awarded to students by Buzz when they complete an activity, unit, or course.
- Teacher-assigned badges are configured to be assigned by teachers to reward a specific achievement or behavior. Teachers can choose from badges in specific categories (e.g., leadership, scholarship, service, etc.) and provide personalized comments and/or evidence, so students know why they're being recognized.
Create badges using Course settings

- Open Tools > Course settings from the Editor toolbar.
