You can connect Parchment Digital Badges to your Moodle account.
Log in to Moodle
Login to Moodle and click the profile icon in the upper right [1]. Select Preferences from the drop-down menu [2]. Under Badges, select the Backpack settings link [3].
Moodle version 3.7-3.9 push to backpack on non-U.S. servers
Moodle versions 3.10 or later include an option to connect to backpacks on servers outside the default U.S. server location (Selecting a Parchment Digital Badges server location). Moodle versions 3.7-3.9 do not support connection to backpacks on non-U.S. servers. If you use an older version of Moodle and reside in a region outside the U.S., we've provided some solutions below.
- Update to the latest version of Moodle to select a backpack from a non-U.S. server
- Teachers use a U.S. Parchment Digital Badges account and request that students create U.S. server accounts using login URL
- Students create a Parchment Digital Badges account in their home server (EU, AU, CA) and manually upload badges (for more information, please see: Uploading non-Parchment Digital Badges badges and Transferring badges to an account on a different server)
- Modify the Moodle database table to reflect your home server following the notes in this Moodle support thread link: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66585 Note, this option may cease to work when Moodle makes a code update
Manage Backpack Settings
Select your server location from the Backpack provider drop-down menu [1], and enter the email and password for your Parchment Digital Badges account [2]. Click the Connect to backpack button [3].
In a different tab, open your email box and find the verification code. Paste the link to complete the verification and connect your Parchment Digital Badges backpack.
Manage Badges
After the backpack connection is successfully established, badges from your backpack can be displayed on your badges page and your profile page. Click the Manage badges link and click the icon to add your badge to your backpack.
You can also select collections of badges from your backpack that you would like to display in your profile.
