What are XPs?
You can think of XPs as points. In fact, "XP" is short for "Experience Points."
Points are a great way to reward people as they take action. In fact, all apps & games give points because it works incredibly well to motivate people to take action.
But for some reason, it's used considerably less in the education space.
We're here to change that, and we've been pioneering many ways to use points to reduce overwhelm, and increase engagement, motivation and excitement.
We call our points XPs (experience points), and it its most basic, simplest form, here's how it might look for education...
Your student watches a video training, and they see 2 possible actions underneath it
Action #1 gives 1 XP for watching or consuming the training content
Action #2 gives 2 XPs for taking the action associated with that training. (We recommend giving more points for the action because action is far more valuable than passive consumption.)
That's how it works on the simplest level, and even though it's pretty simple, it still works incredibly well.
What are XXPs?
You can think of XXPs as a second type of points that allow you to provide two tracks of content to your students: the "core" or basic track, and an optional/advanced or alternative track.
We introduced XXPs after realizing that our flagship program had too much content, which was overwhelming our students.
We identified two distinct tracks they could follow: the "Core Curriculum" track, which includes only the essential training needed to complete the course, and the "Over-achiever" track, which encompasses all the valuable extras not included in the "Core" track.
All trainings in the "Core" were assigned XPs, while all trainings in the "Over-achiever" track were assigned XXPs. This allowed us to guide students with limited time to focus on the Core track.
We also tally the points separately into different leaderboards, enabling all students to compete for the most XPs, while the most eager and committed students can also compete on the XXP leaderboard.
Xperiencify is the only system that lets you attach either XP or XXP rewards to training content, actions, and materials, creating an engaging system that motivates students to take action and achieve their goals.
