In UKG Pro Learning, you can build games in order to motivate users to complete their training!
You have the option to create different levels and choose which population of your Academy will be able to unlock levels of your game.
First of all, in order to be able to create a game, you have to enable the Gamification module for your academy. To do so, go to the Academy Settings, under Advanced Settings, click on the Gamification Module and turn the toggle to yes.
You are now ready to create your own game! To do so, click on the Gamification tab of your Administration panel and then hit Games.
Click on the green Create game button and fill in the basic information for your game.
- Add a Game Name: You can choose names for your game levels (e.g. Beginner, Amateur, Runner, Expert, etc.) but levels can have also numbers that will show up within the respective badges). Numbers can make clear the difference between two levels that are in great distance to each other.
- Select an icon for your Game
- Game Limitations: You can choose which population of your Academy will be able to unlock the levels of your game.
Click on the blue Save button at the bottom of the page once finished. You can now proceed with all of the additional settings for your game:
- Select if you want the different game levels to have also numbers (e.g. 1st, 2nd, …)
- Define the Game Levels:
- Click on the plus icon in order to create a level for your game:
- Add a name for your level and define the points that are needed to unlock this level
- Click on the french key icon in order to change your badge icon, shape, color, etc.
- Activities: Choose activities through which members will be able to earn Points for your game. Many activities when performed provide Points to multiple members. For example, when a member completes a Course he earns Points as a Learner but at the same time, you can choose for the Instructor of the course to earn Points as well.
Do not forget to set your game as an active one! To do so, go to your games' listing and set the toggle to yes.
Each user will be able to see his/her active games as well as the current progress on these games when accessing his/her personal profile (Me> My Profile). The active games are under the Accomplishments tab, Badges option.
Please note that you, as an Admin, have the option to enable an in-app notification that will inform the user about the points he earned for each one of the activities!
To do so, please go to your Administration panel and click on the Academy option, under Notifications. Find the "Notification about Leaderboards and Games" notification under the General tab and turn the toggle to yes.
