How to use one block for all courses?

In order to gather experience points from all the courses a student is participating in, you have to set the admin setting Where are experience points used? to 'For the whole site'. This setting is located under "Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level up! > General settings". Once set, any block newly or previously added will display the total experience points of your students.

How are experience points calculated?

Please refer to the Level up! documentation.

How to unlock content at a certain level?

Please refer to the Level up! documentation.

How to unlock a course at a certain level?

Shortcodes supported

What are those? Shortcodes can be used in text editors throughout Moodle to include or modify the content. The plugin Shortcodes must be installed to enable them.

Level up! comes with shortcodes to display the learner's level badge, their progress bar, or even the leaderboard anywhere you like. Shortcodes can also be used to conditionally display content according to a learner's current level. For a list of available shortcodes and their documentation, please refer to Level up! documentation.

Hi Luis, I'm afraid not. Events are observed as they occur, and thus they cannot be combined together. A workaround to this would be to use the "Restrict access" features of Moodle to hide an activity until the others have been completed, and then to award points for completing this activity. The latter would only serve the purpose of receiving the points, e.g. a Page activity with a congratulations message, that is completed when viewed.

J'ai fait l'installation de ce plugin dans moodle.
Alors j'ai une question svp
le plugin permette de faire la compétition avec un collègue, voir si on est le meilleur de l'équipe par exemple?
Aussi 😁, peut on utiliser le classement pour tirer parti de la compétitivité tout en le gardant convivial et motivant?
Mercii

Hi Marwa, yes, you can organise students in teams and see the ranking within the teams, and of each team. Competitiveness can lead to increased motivation, but we recommend that you implement it and see how your students respond to those, especially those who end-up lower in the rankings.

Salut Frédéric ,
L'organisation en équipe et voir si on est le meilleur de l'équipe par exemple peut on les faire dans la partie gratuite ou payante s'il vous plait ?

Bonjour Marwa, oui, vous pouvez organiser les gens en équipe en utilisant les groupes de cours dans la version gratuite.
Yes, you can group people together using course groups in the free version.

Bonjour,
Je voudrais savoir si on peut insérer des questions de la banque de questions de moodle dans ce plugin ou s'il faut refaire des questions spécifiquement. J'ai cherché dans la doc mais ce n'est pas précisé. Je vous remercie

Bonjour Christine. Level up! ne présente pas de questions, il ne fait que récolter les événements rapportés par Moodle et leur attribués des points. Si vous souhaitez attribuez des points via des questions, nous recommandons d'utiliser un plugin qui utilise les questions et y associent des événements (events). Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas connaissance de plugin qui permettent ceci par question.

Merci pour cette réponse rapide. Je crois que je n'ai pas bien compris le principe dans ce cas: je cherche un plugin qui fait des battle afin de motiver les élèves. Vous me dites que LevelUp reprend les données de Moodle, s'il ne s'agit pas des points obtenus aux questions que l'on peut créer dans moodle à travers diverses activités de quiz, je ne comprends pas la nature des données concernées. Je vous remercie d'avance

Bonjour Christine. Level up! peut aider à créer une compétition amicale, simplement les points que Level up! donne aux élèves dépendent des actions portées par ces derniers dans Moodle. Level up! tel quel ne pose pas de question, et n'offre pas de contenu, il observe ce qui se passe et attribue des points en fonction. Dans sa version payante, il est possible d'attribuer des points correspondants aux notes reçues. Nous vous conseillons d'essayer Level up!, et de naviguer dans l'onglet des règles afin de consulter les méthodes d'attribution de points.

Hi Frederic! I'm having a problem overwriting the default rules. I've changed the XP value of every rule to Zero but still the student is earing points for these actions. What could be the problem? I deleted the cache but the problem persists. thanks for your help!

Hi Felipe, there may be two reasons for this. Either you are not editing the rules from the right place, either you are changing the default rules from the admin, which are the rules that are applied to new instances of the block, or you may be changing the rules in a context that is not the one where students are earning the coins, we recommend that you check the logs from the plugin. The other reason is that the other rules are placed below the default ones. The easiest way to "disable" the default rules is simply by removing them altogether. For more help on how to debug the rules, please see this: https://levelup.plus/docs/article/event-rule-not-working

Hello Frederic, thanks for your response. You're right, I was doing the rule setting in the General Plugin part and not in the course rules. Now it's working correctly. Thank you so much!
