Assessment

Badges can be issued following assessment of earner applications. Issuers can allow earners to submit applications for badges, forwarding these applications to the API. Reviewers can then assess pending applications, making awarding decisions and submitting their reviews. When a review is submitted, issuers can detect this at their webhook. Typically an issuer will respond to an approved review by offering the earner the badge, creating a badge instance and marking the application as processed using the updating endpoint below.

Assessment therefore involves two objects in BadgeKit API: applications and reviews.

Applications

NAME VALUE
id integer - id from database
slug string
learner email address - earner email
created timestamp
assignedTo string - email address for assigned reviewer
assignedExpiration timestamp - expiry date for assigned reviewer to complete review, after which another reviewer can be assigned
badge badge - badge applied for
processed timestamp - e.g. set when review is submitted or when badge instance is created
evidence array - each evidence item can include: url, mediaType (which can be image or link) and reflection (which is a string)

Reviews

NAME VALUE
id integer - id from database
slug string
author email address - reviewer email
comment string - applicant feedback
reviewItems array - one for each criteria item in the badge; each reviewItem can include: criterionId, satisfied status and comment
