Summary
It's easy to imagine spicing up any kind of learning activity, and adding motivation, by adding points, 'badges' and leaderboards.
There are a few key things you can focus on to make sure your points, badges and leaderboards encourage learning and motivate learners.
Use co-creation: get learners to help create the points and awards system.
As well as making the whole thing motivating, think about what exactly you wantlearners to do, and target your points and awards at these actions.
Do you want them to be creative? Award points for innovation.
You could have different kinds of points awarded for different things, with different leaderboards.
Think about how your system and structure for points, awards and leaderboards works in practice.
