How to Use Leaderboards
Leaderboards are a great way to inspire extra effort and friendly competition among your students, by publicly recognizing points and progress!
The challenge of leaderboards is to inspire your students without de-motivating them... and at Xperiencify, we're all about the student experience.
We've combined extensive research, insights from gamification and learning psychology, as well as input from our most important source - our community of loyal users- to create Leaderboards in the most helpful ways to support your students' results.
Phase One of Leaderboards will allow you to create a simple system that publicly tracks daily points, as well as overall point totals for a particular course.
In Phase Two and beyond, you'll have more options for customization, as well as being able to incorporate Social Points, Tags, and more
Phase One of Leaderboards is here!
Here's how to add your Leaderboard to a course:
- Open up Step 4 of your Course
- Select the Page where you want to add the Leaderboard. In this example, we'll add it to the HomePage
- From the left hand column of blocks, select the “Leaderboard” option
- Drag and drop it onto your page.
The leaderboard is automatically updated, whenever your students take action!
Column One will show the "Jump" Leaderboard, reflecting new XP's earned that day in this course:
Column Two will show the "Total" Leaderboard, with XP's earned for all time in this course:
Phase Two is Coming Soon
Coming Soon, you'll be able to...

- auto-assign or de-assign tags, based on leaderboard position
- have XXP Leaderboards

FAQ
- Do the Leaderboards track points overall, or by individual course? Leaderboards are course specific, and track points per course
- Where can Leaderboards be shown? Leaderboards can be shown on any page that is specific to a course (Home Page, All Trainings, Single Training, etc)
- What if I don't want to use Leaderboards? All of Xperiencify's gamification features are optional. Leaderboards will only be shown if you choose to add it to a course page.
Stay tuned for further updates!
