Moodle 3.1 or greater.
Simply install the plugin and add the block to a course page.
The plugin can be installed using composer at fmcorz/moodle-block_xp.
This block listens to events triggered in Moodle and captures some according to pre-defined rules. It then attributes experience points based on the information contained in the event. For more information about the events, refer to the documentation.
Only the users with the capability block/xp:earnxp can earn experience points. This capability is given by default to students. Also actions triggered by guests, non-logged in users or administrators are ignored.
The following events are always ignored:
- Events from another context than course or module
- Events having another educational level than participating
- Events flagged as anonymous, e.g. in an anonymous Feedback
The rest is up to you. By default the plugin comes with a minimal set of rules to attribute experience points to actions, and to ignore some redundant ones. Visit the Rules page in the plugin itself to view or override them.
Note: Repeated actions within a short time interval are ignored to prevent cheating.

Displays the content within its brackets according to the user's level. When a level is stricly specified, the content will be displayed regardless of the other rules. The greater and less than rules must all match for the content to be displayed, watch out as that may sometimes result in the content to never be displayed! Note that teachers, or otherwise users with editing capabilities, will always see everything.
[xpiflevel 1 3 5]
Displayed if the user's level is exactly 1, 3 or 5.

Displayed if the user's level is greater than 3.
[/xpiflevel]
[xpiflevel >=3]
Displayed if the user's level is greater or equal to 3.

[xpiflevel >=10 <20 30]
Displayed if the user's level is greater or equal to 10 AND is strictly less than 20
OR is exactly equal to 30.

[xpiflevel <=10 >=20]

In order to gather experience points from all the courses a student is participating in, you have to set the admin setting Where are experience points used? to 'For the whole site'. This setting is located under "Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level up!". Once set, any block newly or previously added will display the total experience points of your student.
