Medals add an extra layer of motivation to your Learner Content modules, making learning more engaging and rewarding šÆ. Letās break down how they are calculated!
There are two scenarios to consider:
Custom passing score: The passing score for a module has been filled out and set.
Default passing score: The passing score for a module has not been filled out.
ā
When a user completes a module, the following calculation runs. The user must have a score equal to or above to achieve the corresponding medalš :
Passing score = Custom or 0%
Gold = (100 - Passing score) * 0.85 + Passing score
Silver = (100 - Passing score) * 0.5 + Passing score
Bronze = Passing score
Example with custom passing score:
In this example, the customer has set the module passing score to 80%.
Looking at the calculations, we see that a user needs at least 97% correct answers to earn a gold medal, while a silver medal is awarded for a minimum of 90% correct answers.
Passing score = 80
Gold: (100 - 80) * 0.85 + 80 = 97%
Silver: (100 - 80) * 0.5 + 80 = 90%
Bronze: 80%
Example with default passing score:
In this example, the customer has not manually set the module passing score, so it will be set to 0% by default.
Looking at the calculations again, we see that a user must achieve 92.5% correct answers to earn a gold medal, while a silver medal is awarded for at least 75% correct answers.
Passing score = 0
Gold: (100 - 50) * 0.85 + 50 = 92.5%
Silver: (100 - 50) * 0.5 + 50 = 75%
Bronze: 0%
Special caseš”
There is an exemption to the rules stated above: When the passing score is set to 99% or higher, the user will either receive a gold medal or fail the module. Meaning there are no Silver or Bronze medal rewards.
If a user scores 99% or higher, they will receive a gold medal.
If the score is 98% or lower, they will fail the module and will need to retake it.
