What is Gamification and Coins System and Why You Need It

Right now, EzyCourse allows you to award points for different activities such as signup, new posts in a community etc. These points can then give the students a badge based on your points criteria. For example, 10 points will award level one badge and 10000 points level 20 etc. But that was it. These points and badges didn't quite have any real values.

Now, we brought coin addons. Using this coin addon, you can maximize the engagement by allowing them to convert the points into usable coins. Coins can be used to buy any one time product from your website and soon coins can be used for gifting.

We are launching gifting coins capabilities inside the community, commenting on all places so that students can gift coins to each other and also teachers. A teacher can also give coins to his students.

How it works

With the coin system, your students will get the chance to buy coins on your website. And with coins, they can purchase any product including Courses and Communities.

But, before your students can use coins, you have to enable it from your dashboard. You can create coin packages which the students will buy from your website. In addition, you have the control to assign the value of coins compared to the currency price. This comes into play when the students are purchasing products with coins instead of money.

Also, you can set the exchange rate between points and coins. A student can convert their total points to get more coins.

How to set up and get started using it

You can start using the coin system from your dashboard as soon as you get the add-on. Simply go to Add-on->Gamification.

How Coins work with Currency & Points

Suppose a product on your platform costs $20. Now, if you set the value of the coin as 1 USD = 110 Coins. Then the student can purchase the product worth $20 for 2200 coins.

Points are related to coins in that students can convert points to receive coins. Suppose a student has 3000 points. If you set 1 Coin = 80 Points, then the student can convert the 3000 points to get 37.5 coins.

Student View

Students can purchase coin packages from the All products page or right from their dashboard on the Coin History menu.
