- Site badges - available to users site-wide and related to the site wide activities, like finishing a set of courses. They can only be awarded by Administrators or others with appropriate permissions.
- Course badges - available to users enrolled in the course and related to the activities that happen inside the course. They can be awarded by teachers within a course.
