Gamification 101 - How you can boost your community social profile

As we ramp up and get our community going, we have incorporated badges and different ways to earn points to help you boost your profile, and climb up the leaderboard!

Whether you’re a consumer of information, contributor, creator, leader, influencer, or perhaps, a casual observer (for now), there is certainly something for you in our user community.  This is the reason why we introduced badges a year ago - so we can highlight user activity and accomplishments, challenge and learn from each other, which in turn, makes this an even better community than it already is. 

You can earn badges in many ways, which also come with points, and all this together helps boost your social profile so you can make your presence known in the community.  To see what badges you have earned thus far, click on your profile.  If you think you are missing badges (i.e. LMS certification badges), please send a direct message to Angelie Janssen in the community and we’ll get that fixed for you! 

 
Remember this: we all start from somewhere.  Now how to get started, you might ask?  Here are some easy ways to earn points... 

• Low Value Points 

  • Like, comment, or follow a post and/or reply 

  • Visit the community 

  • RSVP to an event

• High Value Points 

  • Post an introduction in the Member Lounge 

  • Ask a question in Q&A Forum 

  • Submit a product idea 

  • Earn a badge – through different types of activities, earning certifications through the LMS 

  • Gain a follower 

So why not take on a new challenge - I know you want to be on that community leaderboard!  “Rome wasn’t built in a day” so this will require a little time and effort each day to become a leader in this community, but with that comes knowledge, and most importantly, invaluable connections within the community!
