| ==What is Level up! ?==
| |
| *Level up! is a customisable block which a teacher can add to a course to give experience points to students as they progress through a course.
| |
| *It displays their current level and progress towards the next level.
| |
| *It adds an element of gamification to a course.
| |
| | |
| ==How is it set up?==
| |
| *With the editing turned on in a course, select Level up! from the 'Add block' menu.
| |
| *Access the block on the course page and click the configuration icon.
| |
| *Give the block a title and description and save it again.
| |
| *Click the links in the block to access different areas:
| |
| **'''Information''' - shows how many XP (experience points) are required for each level. You can change this from the '''Levels''' tab.
| |
| ** '''Ladder''' - shows the students in order of levels and experience points
| |
| **'''Report''' - allows for filtering the students, levels and experience point and allows for manual editing of students' experience points via their progress bar.
| |
| **'''Settings''' -allows various options to be turned on or off and offers settings for preventing possible cheating.
| |
| | |
| ===Specifying the experience points===
| |
| *Once the block is added, if you don't do anything, by default, certain course actions will count towards experience points. You can change this.
| |
| *From the '''Rules''' tab, click ''Add rule'' and then decide how many XP points and if you want all or any of the conditions to apply:

| | |
| *Click ''Add a condition'' and then choose from the options available:

| |
| *Examples might be:
| |
| **'''Activity or resource''' - a particular activity or resource must be completed
| |
| **'''Specific event'''- an assignment has been submitted, a quiz completed or a workshop submission uploaded
| |
| **'''Event property''' -
| |
| **'''Set of conditions''' - similar to a restriction set in [[Restrict access]] a set of conditions must be achieved.
| |
| | |
| ==How does it work?==
| |
| *As students progress throughout the course and take part in activites, they gain more XP and these XP relate to a set of levels.
| |
| *The teacher can decide the number of points to levels in the ''Levels'' tab and students can view this from the '''Information''' link.
| |
| *Students can see their progress by clicking the ''Ladder'' link:

| |
| | |
| *They can view their level and progress in the block itself, and when they move up a level, they are notified (if enabled by the teacher from the ''Settings'' tab.)
