Badges in Coursebox are a powerful gamification tool designed to recognise learner achievements, increase motivation, and encourage course completion.

Create Badges for Courses

In Coursebox, you can award points for completing a course to keep learners motivated. To create badges start:

• From your dashboard, go to Courses.

• On the right-hand side of the course tile, locate the Badges icon (?).

• Hovering over the icon will display “Click to manage badges”.

• Click the icon to open the badge management window.

• Click on "Create a Badge" on the right-hand side
• The Create Badge screen will appear.

• Add the following details:

  • Title: Enter the award name.

  • Points: Assign the number of points learners will earn when achieving this badge.

  • Required Learning: Select the course or activity that must be completed to unlock the badge.  

  • (Optional) Upload a Badge Image: Click Upload to add a custom image (e.g., a trophy or icon).

  • Once complete, click Save.

Create a pathway

Pathways in Coursebox allow you to connect multiple courses and badges together into a structured learning journey. Instead of learners earning badges in isolation, pathways create a clear roadmap, guiding them step by step through skills development.

You can add more than one course to create a pathway. 

Verify the Badge on the Course

• Once you have created and saved a badge, return to your Courses view.

• Locate the course where you applied the badge.

• On the course tile, you will now see the badge points indicator displayed beneath the course title.

  • Example: Beginner’s Guide to Coding shows 10 Points awarded.

  • This confirms that the badge has been successfully linked to the course.

Access the Leaderboard

Badges serve as visible achievements, while the Leaderboard takes gamification a step further by allowing learners to see how they rank in relation to others on the platform.

Together, badges and the leaderboard create a dynamic and competitive learning environment that supports individual progress.

How the Leaderboard Works

• Badges recognise learner achievements.

• The Leaderboard displays these achievements in context, showing:

  • Rank – Position in comparison to other learners.

  • Name – Learner’s name.

  • Points – Total points earned.

  • Courses – Number of completed courses.

  • Certificates – Certificates awarded.

  • Badges – Total badges achieved.

Access the Leaderboard

• From the main menu, go to Community.

• Select Leaderboard from the dropdown menu.

• The leaderboard screen will appear, showing learner rankings across the platform.
