View awards in the awards leaderboard widget

The Awards Leaderboard is a widget that can be added to your Course Home page. See the Customize your Course Home Page with Widgets in myCourses article for how to add new widgets to your course. The Awards Leaderboard shows the ten students who have earned the most badges in your course, which can encourage friendly competition between classmates. 

Select the downward arrow beside the widget title to access these settings:

  • Customize this widget: choose to sort the Leaderboard by Number of Awards (recommended) or Credits. 

  • Style this widget: customize or remove the Leaderboard title.

The Awards Leaderboard will sort students with the same number of awards by name in alphabetical order. If no awards have been granted yet, then the Awards Leaderboard will be empty.
