OBF’s Moodle Plugin Evolves for Greater Reliability!

We’re excited to announce the launch of the latest version of our Moodle plugin, now equipped with an innovative feature: badge queuing.

Our new queuing feature ensures that all your badges will be delivered, even in case of:

  • Temporary server connection interruptions
  • Late subscription renewals
  • Momentary technical issues

Why This Update Matters for You

As a badge issuer, you know how crucial reliability is. Each badge represents an acquired skill, a successful learning journey, a well-deserved recognition. With this new feature:

  • Zero loss: Badges are automatically queued in case of problems
  • Smart synchronization: Automatic delivery as soon as connection is restored
  • Peace of mind: No need to manually monitor issuance failures
  • Simplified management: Intuitive interface to check pending badges status

  1. Update your Moodle local-obf plugin to version 1.1.0
  2. The feature is enabled by default – no configuration required!
  3. You can view the queue in the Open Badges admin dashboard:

Real-world Use Case

Imagine: Your institution issues competency badges to hundreds of learners at the end of a session. Your subscription expires on the same day, but the administrative renewal is delayed.

Before: Badges issued during this period were lost, requiring manual reissuance.
Now: All badges are automatically queued and delivered as soon as your subscription is renewed.
