The Awards tool can be used to create Badges and Certificates that show student achievement within your course. D2L Brightspace provides a library of images and certificate templates that you can use when creating badges and certificates, as well as allows to use your own images.
Creating an award
Step 1. To begin creating your award/badge, click the Assessment menu, and then the Awards button.

Step 3. Click “Add Award to Course” to add a badge or certificate (either new or existing).
Step 4. To create a new award, click “Create Award” and enter a name (1) and description (2).
Step 5. Then select whether you want a Badge or a Certificate. Certificates provide a badge, as well as printable proof of having earned it. These are usually used for completing a practical application.
