Introduction to Actions & Points

In Xperiencify, you can add actions to your training content or any other page to encourage students to take action in exchange for points. Here's a quick guide on how to set up actions effectively.

Tip: We usually recommend having 2 actions per training to maximize student engagement.

Action #1: Awards 1 XP for watching or completing the training. Include a summary of the lesson's main learning point in the action description, and students earn 1 XP when they check it off.
Action #2: Awards 2 XPs for taking the associated action or implementation activity. (We recommend more points for actions since they are more valuable than passive consumption.)

How to Add an Action to a Training
1. Find the training you want to add an action to and click the Edit button.
2. Click on the Actions & Points tab.
  
  By default, two recommended actions are added:
  - "Watched Video" (1 XP)
  - "Next Steps" (2 XPs)
  This setup rewards students appropriately for taking action versus just watching.
3. Open each action by clicking on it.
4. Select the Action Type: Choose from Simple Checkbox, Essay Response, or Multiple Choice.
5. Name your action under Action Name
6. Change the Action Kind: Indicate what type of action this is, e.g., 'To-Do', 'Homework', 'Action', etc.
7. Add Detailed Action Notes: Provide a detailed description of what you want students to do.
8. Edit the Checkbox Label Text: Set the text for the checkbox (e.g., "Done it!"). Ensure it's in the past tense to prevent premature completion.
9. Set the Points: Vary points to highlight the importance of each action. For example, 1 XP for watching a video, and 2 or 3 XPs for completing homework to reflect its higher value.
10. Offer Bonus XXPs: Encourage students to go above and beyond with extra points. Learn more about XXPs [here]. You can also add or remove tags associated with each action.
