Achievements offer you a way to reward learners, employers and even educators with rewards for completing specific activities. These rewards come in the form of a digital badge on their profile, but can also be integrated with external systems such a badging, micro-credentialing, or any other type of awards based platform.

General
Scopes
Achievements can be created at the portal level or the experience level.
Portal scope - Achievements created in the portal will be applied to all activity across the portal. For example, if you create an achievement which is awarded to learners who complete a project, then no matter what experience the learner is apart of, they will be awarded the achievement upon completing a project.
Experience scope - Achievements created in a specific experience will be applied only to all activity within that experience.
Riipen achievements
By default, Riipen provides its own set of achievements available to any user. These will be available to all users within your portal along side any achievements you also create.
Branding
All achievements have a name, description, and badge associated with them. This is where you are able to insert any sort of branding or explanation you would like to be displayed publicly along side the achievement.
For the badge, you will be able to upload your own custom image giving you full control over the appearance, or you can use the badge builder to quickly build a custom badge using present icons and colors.
