Using Badges, Awards, and Achievements in E-Learning Courses #197

Using Awards and Badges in E-Learning #197: Challenge | Recap

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share an example that demonstrates how badges, awards, or achievements can be used in e-learning.

If you’re new to course authoring, focus on the technical basics of working with variables and showing custom bookmarking states. For those with more experience, try showing more real-world examples that demonstrate how awards and badges can be appropriately used in e-learning.

New Entries Only!

We’ve hosted several gamification, showing progress, and personalization challenges which are similar to this week’s topic. To keep this week’s entries fresh, we’re asking that you only share new examples in this week’s challenge.
