Latest
- FixedLearnDash activity triggers with ranks and points
- FixedMade addon compatible with latest WordPress, BadgeOS and LearnDash
What it does
Online courses can feel like a long list of lessons with little sense of progress along the way. This addon gives learners visible milestones by tying BadgeOS achievements to activity inside LearnDash. You can create as many custom achievements as you need, then have badges issued automatically when a student completes a lesson, passes a quiz or finishes a whole course. Activity triggers also work with BadgeOS ranks and points, so you can build a fuller reward system around your course content.
The addon also covers cases that automation cannot. You can require an assignment submission before a badge is earned, or issue an achievement by hand to recognize something that happened outside the course. Once learners earn badges, they can share them on Facebook and Twitter, and store them in digital badge backpacks such as Mozilla OpenBadges and Credly. That lets students keep a record of their achievements beyond your site.
