Prior to adding gamification to your course activities, assignments or resources please see THIS OVERVIEW

Increase engagement and participation by motivating your students to progress towards the next level using the Level Up Gamification Block in your Moodle course. Students will be automatically and instantly awarded Experience Points (XP) as they progress through course activities. Each time a student completes an activity or an action the instructor has gamified in their course, they will be awarded XP.   


A student's ranking in the Level-Up ladder increases when they earn the number of XP allocated by the instructor.  


Add a Level Up! Gamification to your Moodle course site

Level Up! gamification is added as a block in the course. Please find the instructions here.


Change the Experience Points in your course

Instructors have the ability to remove existing Experience Points from the activity as well as add new rules for the Experience Points. They can also connect points to a specific activity in the course. Please click here for more information.


Customize the icon for each Level

Each level's icon can be customized and used to motivate students. Please see this article on how to change the icon.


Change the level name, points, and level count

The instructor has the ability to change the levels. The instructor can include the name of each level, the number of levels, and the number of points needed to advance to the next level. Find more information here.


Hide the identities of students in the Ranking Ladder

By clicking on Ladder, students can compare their progress in class to that of other course participants. The instructor, on the other hand, has the ability to make each student anonymous in the ladder. Please find the instructions here.
