Awards are automatically granted to learners upon completion of certain actions (e.g., completion, time spent). By using your own naming conventions (e.g., credits, CEUs, points, etc.), you can grant any kind of award you would like.
Once you've set up the award type and the qualifications that will trigger the award, learners will be granted awards based on their activity. You can decide if you want learners to be able to see awards on their dashboard.

What else do I need to know?

By clicking the Manually Grant Award button you will be able to select the award type, amount to award, as well as which content piece it should be attached to. Click Save.
- Reporting on awards is available at Reporting Hub > Library > Learner Actions > Awards Details. Here you can filter by award type, date, learner, or role type as well as download the report.
Warning
Upon deletion of an award type, all qualifications using this type will also be deleted. As a result, no further award grants will occur for this award type or associated qualifications.
Similarly, upon deletion of an award qualification, no further award grants will occur for the deleted qualification.
