Badging PD Sequence & Resouces

Log into Canvas and Join Courses

1. Log into extendutexas.instructure.com
2. Accept invites to both Badging courses
3. Enter the class where you are a Teacher

• Learners will need to know what class to log into.
• Likely will need an individualized handout for all attendees.
• Learners will be included in TWO courses - one as a teacher, one as a student.
• I need to remember to have all classes published.

Setting up the Module & Requirements for Completion

1. Discussion of Canvas Modules, completion criteria, and their role in badging.
2. Add a page to the module.
3. Set Viewing the Page as the completion criterion
4. Publish the Module

• What's the easiest path to a criterion for module completion?
• I'm going to go with "View a Page"
• Need to have the Page created in advance

1. Select "Create New Badge" from the dropdown under Badge.
2. Fill in Badge Name (whatever), Badge Description (whatever), and Criteria (something about looking at a document)
