00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:01.600
Welcome to the

2
00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.880
instructional video on LevelUp.

3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.560
LevelUp is a gamification feature

4
00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:08.160
in Moodle. It allows students

5
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.040
to collect points in a course,

6
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:12.160
for example, by receiving grades,

7
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.080
completing activities, or other

8
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.560
interactions. As they collect points,

9
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:19.520
they level up. Open a course

10
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.680
where you want to set up LevelUp.

11
00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:23.280
Enable editing mode

12
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.480
and open the block drawer.

13
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.080
Add the LevelUp XP block.

14
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.320
Create one or more activities

15
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.640
in the course, give them a name,

16
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.280
a description, and adjust

17
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:35.920
your individual settings.

18
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.400
Go to the "Activity completion" section.

19
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.120
Choose the type of completion tracking.

20
00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:42.640
For "Completion is manually set,"

21
00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:45.360
students can check off the activity

22
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.680
themselves. It’s recommended

23
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.600
to use "Show as complete when all conditions
are met".

24
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.680
Here, you can choose whether

25
00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:53.600
just viewing the activity is enough,

26
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.600
a grade is required, the activity

27
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.120
must be passed, or a submission

28
00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:59.280
is sufficient. You can select

29
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.000
multiple conditions if needed.

30
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.000
You can also set a deadline

31
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.000
by when the activity must be completed.

32
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Save the activity after

33
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.000
you’ve made all settings.

34
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Once you’ve created all your activities,

35
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
go to the LevelUp settings.

36
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Under General Settings,

37
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000
you can enable point gain, an info page,

38
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.000
and a popup.

39
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.000
You can also customize

40
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000
how the block is displayed.

41
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.000
Save your changes here too.

42
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.000
Set up your levels by defining

43
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.000
how many levels there are and

44
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.000
how many points are needed to level up.

45
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.000
You can give each level a name and

46
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.000
a description. Then save

47
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.000
your changes. Under Appearance,

48
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.000
you can change level badges and point icons.

49
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Choose from preset icons or

50
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.000
upload your own. Make sure

51
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.000
you follow the file name requirements.

52
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Under Event Rules,

53
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
you can award points for student interactions.

54
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.000
This includes creating,

55
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.000
reading, using, and deleting

56
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.000
activities—these are called CRUDE actions.

57
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.000
CRUDE stands for Create, Read,

58
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.000
Use, and Delete. These apply

59
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.000
to all course activities.

60
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000
One drawback is that students

61
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
can easily collect a lot of points

62
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.000
through simple actions and

63
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.000
potentially exploit the system

64
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.000
by repeating interactions.

65
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
If you still want to use this feature,

66
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.000
it’s a good idea

67
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000
to create a new rule and limit

68
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.000
the types of interactions.

69
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.000
Here you can assign points

70
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.000
for a specific interaction—for example,

71
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.000
posting a new forum thread—

72
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.000
and specify which activity

73
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.000
if your course contains multiple forums.

74
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
Keep in mind that points will now

75
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.000
be awarded for every new post,

76
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.000
not just once per student.

77
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.000
You can also add a required

78
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000
activity, section, or course completion

79
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
as a condition.

80
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.000
Next, we’ll show you another option.

81
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Make sure the order is correct

82
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.000
so the activity matches

83
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.000
its condition appropriately.

84
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.000
If you don’t want to use CODE actions,

85
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.000
we recommend deleting them.

86
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Under "Completion", only

87
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000
activities with completion tracking are considered.

88
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000
Here you can assign points

89
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000
to activities, sections, and the

90
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000
entire course.

91
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.000
Click 'Add'. Choose

92
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.000
which activity the condition should apply to.

93
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.000
We want to award points for completing

94
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.000
a specific activity and select

95
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.000
that in the next step.

96
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.000
Set the number of points for completion

97
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.000
and click 'Save'. The condition will

98
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.000
now appear in the list.

99
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.000
Under "Grading Rules", grades

100
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.000
are directly converted into XP.

101
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.000
For example, 4 out of 10 points

102
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.000
results in 4 XP. Choose

103
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.000
a specific grade item, such as

104
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.000
"a certain quiz", or a grade type

105
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.000
like "all quizzes", or

106
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.000
combine multiple conditions.

107
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000
In our case, we want to use the grade of

108
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.000
a specific activity.

109
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.000
Click 'Conditions' and select

110
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.000
your activity. XP will now be

111
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.000
granted for the grade.

112
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.000
Under 'Import', you can upload XP

113
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.000
as a CSV file for

114
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.000
a specific student.

115
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.000
Under 'Report', you'll find an overview

116
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.000
of all students and their XP.

117
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.000
You can search for individual students.

118
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.000
Under 'Logs', you'll see student actions

119
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.000
and the points awarded for them.

120
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.000
Under 'Leaderboard', you’ll see

121
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.000
students or teams sorted by

122
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000
their progress. Teams correspond

123
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.000
to groups created in the course or

124
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.000
parent groups. Under Info,

125
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.000
you’ll find an overview of all levels.

126
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.000
LevelUp is now fully set up.

127
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.000
Additionally, you can

128
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.000
automatically enroll students

129
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.000
into another course once they reach a certain
level.

130
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.000
A tutorial on LevelUp

131
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.000
Enrollment can be found in the media library.

132
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.000
If you have questions or need help,

133
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.000
feel free to contact the HTW IT Center.
