This block improves gamefication into the moodle plataform.

This new version is more simpler and easy to use, but, with more visual.

The plugin works listening moodle events, so now, the points are added in real time.

The ranking works with the activity completion tracking, so you need to enable that and configure the criterias for all activities you want to monitor. The plugin only add points to activities with completion criterias. The method to add points remains the same.

There are different ways to gain points.

For example:

  • If a student completes a html page the ranking adds 2 points.
  • If a student completes an assignment and it is ended only when the student receive a grade. The ranking add 2 points plus the grade points to the student. You can configure the default points in the block configuraion.

NOTE: All the activities that needs grade to be finished will add the activity points (default 2) more the activity grade. For example: If the course has one assignment and it's configured to be completed only after the grade is received by the student and let's say a random student received by the end of the assignment 10(ten) as his grade. In this case that student will obtain 12(twelve) points, the 2(two pre-configured) from finishing the activity plus 10(ten) from his grade.

This only occurs with activities that have grades. ex: foruns, assignments, lessons, etc...

For Moodle version 3.2+ 

With the new chart api in moodle version 3.2 i added some graphs to see the groups performance. Enjoy and feel free to send me your feedback.

    Olá, como resetar o ranking? Mesmo reconfigurando todo o curso a nota do aluno permanece no ranking. E como configurar o ranking para dar somente a nota que os alunos conquistam nos testes sem que some +2 pontos? Obrigado!

    Hi Willian,

    I have installed this block in moodle version 3.5 but nothing is getting updated in ranking block.
    I have followed all the instructions mentioned above. Can you please confirm if I have to do something else as well?

    How does Ranking block calculates points?
    Here is what I did
    1. Created two students roles in course naming "Student five" and "Student two".
    2. Both of them gave a Quiz which was part of course.
    3. "Student five" in his first attempt answered all questions correct and scored grade 10 and ranking block points 19.
    4. "Student two" attempted quiz and got zero grade and 4 points in first attempt. "Student two" cored 10 grade and 17 points in second attempt.
    5. Grade is set to highest score.

    Why when grade of both students are same, they are getting different rating?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
