Level Up! Block Rules

How are experience points calculated?

On your course, Level Up! listens to events triggered by learner actions (events) and notes these according to pre-defined rules. Level Up! then attributes experience points based on the information contained in the event.

Tip: It is not recommended that instructors change the experience points without consulting with their instructional peers.
Note: Actions triggered by guests, non-logged in users or administrators are ignored.
Note: Repeated actions within a short time interval are ignored to prevent cheating.

Events are small bits of information describing something that happened in Moodle. Student events are the result of their actions while on the course. There are scores of possible student events. A few examples are:


  • blog entry added
  • comment created
  • course module viewed
  • discussion created
  • question viewed
  • question answered
  • BigBlueButton meeting joined
  • BigBlueButton meeting left
  • SCORM launched


This may seem confusing at first as leaving a BigBueButton class, for example, is rewarded with points. Event points are awarded for micro tasks. The overall reward is for small interactions rather than a few larger interactions.
