Standard Achievement Types

Overview

Standard AchievementTypes are predefined achievement types that do not include the ext: prefix. These types are sourced directly from the IMS Global Open Badges v3 AchievementType Enumeration. These types are directly recognized by the system and are mapped to predefined categories without additional transformation.
