    Hi Fréderic, thank you for all.
    Is it possible that only the names of the students appear in the ranking? Now the surname also appears.
    Thank you

    Hi Pablo, at present there are two options for the names. Either make the whole leaderboard anonymous is Level up!, or use the Moodle setting to define how names are displayed to users: https://docs.moodle.org/en/Additional_name_fields#Full_name_format Level up! does not currently offer additional options then those.

    Hello Frederic,
    We are considering purchasing this plugin for moodle and have been fiddling around with the free version.
    I have two inquiries :
    1- In the pro version, how exactly does the grade based reward work, how are the rules set, do I set experience points for a specific grade range on a specific activity?
    2- How does the Levelup plugin work with Moodle lessons,
    I would like to give students exp points when finishing a specific percentage of the lesson ( like when a student finishes 20% of lesson give him 20exp, 50% give him 50exp etc... )

    And lastly I want to try the pro version before purchasing, is there a demo version or something that I can test it on ?

    Thanks in Advance,
    Lina

    Hi Lina,

    1/ The grade-rules are a 1 to 1 relationship between the grade received and the points given. If a student gets a grade of 80, they get 80 points. Yes, uou can target specific grade items (activities). More on this here: https://levelup.plus/docs/article/grade-based-rewards

    2/ Level up! observes the completion state provided by Moodle itself, which is either completed or not. At present it is not capable of awarding students based on the completion level of a Lesson module.

    Please email us at support at levelup.plus, we will email you a demo access.

    Thank you!

    Hi Frédéric ,

    I always make good use of it. Thank you.

    I'm using Moodle 3.9.
    In one course I put it in, the gear marks in the block editor disappeared and I couldn't move or hide places.
    In the other courses, the gear marks are still there.

    Can you think of any possible causes?

    Thanks

    Hi Mami, this is probably because a permission issue within Moodle. Please check your permissions within the problematic courses with your Moodle administrator.

    Hi Frédéric ,

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    I am the Moodle Administrator on this moodle.
    I have checked the permissions and they are fine.
    All the other blocks on a problematic course has geared, only LevelUp block is not.
    Why is that?

    Hi Mami, we cannot thinkg of any reason why. Level up! is not doing anything different to other blocks. Perhaps this issue is related to your theme.

    Hi Frédéric ,
    I would like to report that I have solved the problem.
    I found that the gears are just hidden (I don't know why), I can find the URL for the block operation in the source code and click on it to operate it. Thank you very much.

    Hi Frederic, i have a question. Is it possibly that i create an rule than have two or more activity is necessary completed for grate points. For example the user is necessary that view two PDF.

    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.
