Growth Engineering launches Reward Centre to offer learners real-world prizes
Growth Engineering, a multi-award winning learning technologies company, has added new functionality to its social, gamified Academy LMS. The Reward Centre allows learners to trade in online points and badges for tangible rewards.
Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS was recently named as the world’s Best Gamification LMS by eLearning analyst Craig Weiss. The current gamification functionality includes:
- Earning badges and experience points
- Levelling up
- Climbing leaderboards
- Genie content authoring tool – Build learning games using templates
The new Reward Centre adds an extra layer of gamification. Learners can earn real-world rewards by trading the experience points and badges they earn from completing learning content.
Administrators can set any rewards they want, and also choose an appropriate trade-in cost. So, for example, they can set a lower cost for a £10 lunch voucher, and a higher cost for an extra day’s holiday.
When a learner visits the Reward Centre, they see their current balance of experience points and badges, and all of the available rewards. ‘Redeem’ buttons only appear for the rewards they can currently afford, so they can see at a glance which ones they’ll have to keep saving up for.
When a leaner redeems a reward, the administrators are notified so that they can make any necessary preparations for delivering it.
Juliette Denny, Managing Director of Growth Engineering, said: “This is such a perfect fit for our Academy LMS, because it gives our customers another super-tool for engaging their learners! After all, how could anyone resist doing just a few more pieces of learning if there’s a real prize waiting for you at the end of it?
“We’re really excited to see what sorts of rewards our clients will dream up for their learners!”
