Small achievements go unrecognized
Completing a lesson or passing a test is a step in a longer journey. Making it visible helps learners see what they have achieved and what comes next.
Connect learning to points, badges and levels with clear requirements. Design milestones and challenges that suit your program, and track engagement with these tools through your academy's account data.
Between enrollment and certification are achievements worth recognizing. Clear requirements and rewards help you create a motivational experience learners understand throughout the program.
Completing a lesson or passing a test is a step in a longer journey. Making it visible helps learners see what they have achieved and what comes next.
Learners need to know why they earned a badge and what the next achievement requires. Give every reward a reason your program can explain.
Alongside the top places, your academy needs to know who uses points and badges, and which achievements have been awarded over time.
Explore lesson completion, progress toward a challenge goal and earning a badge to see the requirement and result in each case.
Our fictional learner had completed two lessons and earned forty points. When a new lesson is recorded as completed for the first time, twenty points are added with the reason in the history.
Engagement tools depend on your account's services. Points, badges and participation data help track usage; by themselves, they do not demonstrate mastery or a specific improvement in completion rates.
Learners receive points for completing lessons, tests and courses according to the defined rewards. Their points history shows the reason for each addition.
Name the badge and choose a supported requirement and threshold, such as lessons completed, tests passed or consecutive active days. Learners know what they are working toward.
Set point thresholds for levels and show learners how far they have progressed toward the next one. Add clear milestones between the start and finish.
Create a challenge with a title, timeframe and measurable goal, then track participants' recorded progress. Challenge goals give the group a shared milestone during the program.
Display overall, weekly and monthly points leaderboards. Learners see their position within a known period, with different opportunities for their participation to be recognized.
Track learners who have points or badges and the number of rewards awarded each day. Use this data to review your motivational design.
Designing motivation starts with the progress you want learners to see, then continues by reviewing what participants actually use.
Choose a badge and a supported requirement that suit the program's length, such as the number of lessons completed. Add levels or a challenge with a goal and timeframe where they support your design.
Learners see their points, badges and distance to the next level. Challenge statuses show the progress recorded toward their goal.
Track participation in points and badges and trends in awarded achievements. Adjust your badge and level catalog to your academy's needs.
Choosing a platform starts with understanding what it brings to your organization and what you need to put in place.
You can create badges using requirements supported by the system, such as completed lessons, passed tests or consecutive active days, and set the threshold for each badge.
Core learning events have defined rewards in the system. You can design badges and level thresholds; additional reward options vary by tool and enabled services.
Points and levels indicate motivation and participation. Demonstrating competence still depends on the assessments and completion requirements you set for your program.
Analytics show indicators such as users with points or badges, the number of badges awarded and daily trends. This data helps you review your academy's motivational design.
Start with a clear requirement and a meaningful badge, then expand your reward system to suit your program and learners.
