Ludic
Daniel Miller,

Team EdunaoIntroduction
LUDIC is a Moodle course format plugin, resulting from research work in gamifictaion, that presents course structure and contents graphically. Images are dynamic, evolving over time to emphasise student achievement.
Look and Feel
The objective is provide a light-weight navigation experience, favoring large images over long texts.
Philosophy
This plugin is designed to be extremely easy to use, requiring only minimal input from the course creators in order to put it to use.
The plugin includes a set of dynamic skins for sections and activities that can be used out of the box. It is possible for a user to create their own dynamic skins but it should be noted that this feature currently requires some technical expertise.
Course structure
Ludic courses use a classic Moodle structure with content organised into a set of course sections.A course overview page presents the sections to which the student currently has access.
The content for each separate section is displayed in it's own dedicated page.
Dynamic section skins
Each section, as represented in the course overview page, is dressed in a dynamic skin. The course creator can choose which skin to use for which section, selecting from a range of options provided out of the box and any additional skins that they have added themselves.
Dynamic content skins
Each activity and resource may either be presented 'inline', displayed as it would be in any other Moodle course format, or may be represented by a dynamic skin that is conceptually similar to the section skins described above.

For a simple example, let us assume that you want to change the fixed image for sections, and let's say that the image file is called my-image.png. You would drag and drop the image file to the "Image library", scroll down to the "fixed image" skin definition, and replace the "background" value (which by default is "default-user-skins\/non-gamified-section") with "my-image.png".
If you wanted to have a second fixed image you could copy the text from the fixed image skin definition into the "New Skin" space at the bottom of the page, change the title, description and image name as you like and save it. You can add as many skins as you like, one after another.
Here is an example of a fixed image for a section:
{
"domain": "section",
"skintype": "fixed_image",
"title": "galaxies",
"description": "Fixed galaxies image",
"css": ".skin-img{background-size:contain}",
"background": "galaxies.png"
}
Please reply, so we can know IF we can use it in our schools for the next school year.
Thank you again for this exquisite course format.
The update for Moodle 4 requires some more planning and is going to require a little more time.
May ask a small change?
The point system instead of buying with US Dollars, can you allow us to change the currency to anything that we would like?
Not only money currency but the ability to set for example "Digital Tokens, LMS Tokens"
Are you still working on the adaptation to Moodle 4 ? (I need to find out if I can propose this plugin to our teachers for september) Thank you!
Sorry.
Hey, I would like to know if there will be an update for the plugin in the next versions. I intend to use it for an upcoming project. And since it is a long-term project, I need to understand the risks of using the plugin.
