• When awarding a requested edubadge, you will see an option to add a motivation and/or evidence. By clicking on this option, you can give the recipient a personal message and/or information about the evidence accompanying the award. The evidence is a URL that refers to a thesis, for example. 

  • If you add proof (URL), make sure it is a persistent URL and the link is publicly accessible. 

• The motivation/evidence is included in the issued edubadge, but the recipient always has the choice to make this information visible or not when making the edubadge public and sharing it with others.

• By default, these motivation/evidence fields are optional, but when creating a badge class, you can choose to make these fields mandatory under Additional options. You can make it mandatory for awarding (teacher) or for requesting (student). 

• If you want to award several requested edubadges at the same time, adding motivation/evidence is not possible. This is because it is personal information you want to add per edubadge. If you therefore select several requested edubadges at the same time, the option 'add motivation and/or evidence' will not appear.

You can do this in the badge class. This is only possible if there are no edubadges awarded yet.
