How to Earn Points and Badges (Gamification)

The Gamification widget can be accessed in Learner mode.

We issue badges for the following events:

  • Activity (Logins)
  • Learning (Number of completed Courses)
  • Test (Number of passed Tests)
  • Assignments (Number of passed Assignments)
  • Perfectionism (Passed test or assignment over 90%)
  • Survey (Number of completed Surveys)
  • Certification (Number of earned Certifications)

Do you have to use Gamification?

As an Instructor in Learn Robotics programs, you can choose to use badges or not. We find that some schools use the badges as a way to add bonus points or assess student participation and engagement.

Badges are a fun way to encourage student participation and friendly competition between students in a class. The system will automatically generate a leaderboard for the class.

You can choose to use badges as you see fit. Actual badge designs vary from year to year, and students can collect, download, and save their Learn Robotics badges if they’d like!
