Moodle Block Game
VERSION 1.32
The goal of the Block Game plugin is to apply gamification techniques to the moodle platform in a simple and uncomplicated way.
With the plugin it is possible to apply several gamification techniques. See below.
| 1 - Avatar | |
 |
Use Avatar: Allows the user to choose or change their avatar at any time. When the dotted icon appears it means the user has not yet chosen yours, by clicking on it, or your avatar, it takes you to the selection page, just click on the desired avatar to make the choice. Selecting some avatars will require the user to reach a certain level to unlock them. Avatar change in the course: It is possible in the general settings of the plugin, to allow the user to choose his in any course that the block is added! This option makes the plugin more flexible and can be used in just one or more courses, without the need to include the block in the general area of the platform! |

When displaying the level, a progress bar for the user's level in relation to the next level will also be shown. |

Screenshots
Our Abilities Courses are taken by grades 9-12 (Restrict Access by Grade Group), and in each course we have 3 progressive-Learning levels A,B,C (RA by Learning Level group), to selectively offer higher order activities to some students. So a student is enrolled in at least 2 groups - a Grade Group, and a Learning Level. Think of it like a matrix with Grades in Col and Learning Levels in Rows.
However the Game Block rank criteria selects only one group. If student selects Grade Group, he is ranked against students in all learning levels, and vice versa. This is a problem.
Is it possible to have 2 or 3 group selection with an AND condition.
Is this faced by anybody else also?
The plugin really does not have the functionality to configure users with multiple groups. So far, they have not reported this need to me. I'll include it in the list of new plugin features, but I can't guarantee you when it will be implemented. Thanks for helping to improve the plugin.
Thanks for the help!
Moodle 3.9.18
Queria fazer um reset à pontuação de todos os utilizadores no site no início do ano letivo e não consigo!
Já fiz reset à pontuação em todas as disciplinas, mas a pontuação individual continua disponível na página principal/painel.
Podes ajudar?
Abraço
Eu pretendo fazer o reset em todo o ambiente. Mas se eu desinstalar o plugin e voltar a instalar vou perder todas as configurações em todas as disciplinas, certo?
Estão aparecendo alguns relatos sobre o plugin instalado.
Moodle 4.3
Os avatares não estão aparecendo nos computadores apenas em celular;
A pontuação está zerando e também não está aparecendo o nome na classificação geral.
Tem algo que vc me orienta a fazer? Ou é por causa de ser o moodle 4.3?
Desde já agradeço.
I'm trying to use the "Reset Game" button in a course and despite seeing the message "Course points reset for all users successfully !!" nothing changed, I can still see all points in the course ranking. Do you know what might be causing this?
We are using Moodle 4.3.4
