The “BadgeOS LearnDash Add-on” allows learners to earn achievements and badges from virtually every course, lesson and quiz activity available in the LearnDash learning management system. When activated, BadgeOS admins will see a new “LearnDash Activity” menu in their “Required Steps” manager when editing or creating any achievement or badge.
Note: You will need to install the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/badgeos/" title="BadgeOS" rel="ugc">BadgeOS plugin</a>™ (version 1.2 or higher) to use the BadgeOS LearnDash Add-on. You will also need the <a href="http://www.learndash.com" title="LearnDash" rel="nofollow ugc">LearnDash plugin</a> v1.4 or higher installed, available from LearnDash.com.

<a href="http://badgeos.org" title="BadgeOS" rel="nofollow ugc">BadgeOS</a>™ turns your WordPress site into an achievement and badging system. And with LearnDash enabled on your site, badges are not only awarded by activities such as making submissions, earning points, completing required achievements, and making site and community contributions, but also by completing LearnDash courses, lessons, courses and quizzes. Define the achievements, organize the badge requirements any way you like, and choose from and combine a range of BadgeOS and LearnDash activity options to determine whether each task or requirement has been achieved.
Earned badges are Open Badge compatible and sharable via <a href="https://credly.com/" title="Credly.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Credly</a>, the free web service for displaying, storing and managing lifelong achievement.
