Your LearnWorlds platform incorporates gamification features, including a set of predefined digital badges that users can earn through their social engagement and achievements within the virtual school environment. Gamification is crucial as it enhances user engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes by adding elements of fun and competition to the educational experience.
In this article, we will learn how to enable the gamification engine in LearnWorlds, customize the digital badges, and inform users when a badge is awarded.
Activate the Gamification Engine
You can enable or disable your school's gamification by navigating to Settings → Learning Apps → Gamification Engine. On the Gamification engine page, you can see all the available badges along with the scenarios that, once met, will unlock the relevant badge.

On the Gamification engine page, you can activate and customize each badge, changing the name, description, and image by hovering over the three dots at the left of each badge and clicking on the Edit badge.
- The award condition for each badge cannot be edited.
- The recommended dimensions for the badge images are 90px X 90px.
Notify Users when a Badge is Awarded
In your notification emails, you can enable or disable the notification message sent when a badge is awarded.
Badges that your users earn during their experience within your school can be found in the users' Inbox & Profile page once they are logged into their account. Over time, your learners will have a visual personal portfolio of all the different skills they have been awarded.
- The Active Member badge gets calculated based on social actions (such as posts, likes in posts, comments, best of (upvote), and likes in comments) in the past 30 days (not based on the calendar month).
- Once a badge is earned, it does not get removed.
- The Archiver and Note Master badge is related to the e-book learning activity actions.
