Just pointing out that Neela's original question and Kevin's response prompted me to look a bit more into the issue -forum post here: Now you see it; now you don't

Moodle in English -> Teaching with Moodle -> Moodle Tip: Now you see it; now you don't (Gamification)
With the improved Conditional activities settings in Moodle 2.7, it's possible to hide an item - and then reveal it - and then hide it again, a feature very useful in the popular gamification type courses. Here's a Pirates Quest module. You can see that they must first pass Skill set 1 before being able to access Skill set 2 and so on:
When they get the required grade in the first quiz, a congratulatory label appears, telling them they have achieved level 1 Piracy and that they can now access quiz 2. So far, so good:
But what happens when they get the required grade in Skill set 2?
The level 1 label disappears - and is replaced by a Level 2 label (And so on....)
How to do this?
- Set the activity completion for Skill set 1 quiz to "Require grade"
- Set the Restrict access for the Level 1 label as in the screenshot below:
What will happen is that the Level 1 label will appear once the student pirate has got over 50% in the first quiz. It will stay visible until they have completed the second quiz (Skill set 2) at which point it will disappear.
The Level 2 label will appear once the student pirate has got over 50% in the second quiz. It will stay visible until they have completed the third quiz (Skill set 3) at which point it will disappear. And so on and so on....
Thanks to Kevin Wiliarty and Didier Dumas in the English and French speaking forums respectively for this insight. Tim Hunt has created a fun Chinese Rings Puzzle course demonstrating clever use of Conditional activities that you can download from Moodle.net.

A course can only be in one category; however, please see #14 Can I put a course in more than one category? in the Course FAQ for a workaround.

Thanks Tim. Actually, the Sites team is working on making uploading courses and Moodle content much easier and much more user friendly in a Moodle.net revamp - one of those aspects being the possiblity of uploading your course directly. So it's in hand
In the meantime here is your course on Moodle.net - Chinese Rings Puzzzle
