XP 3.17 / XP+ 1.17

Cohort-Based Leaderboards: Perfect for Multi-Tenancy

XP+ Premium now empowers you to separate leaderboard participants with cohorts. This is especially beneficial in multi-tenancy environments, alloweing leaderboards to be enabled without risking to mix participants from different tenants, organisations or departments!

Custom Reports: Comprehensive Reporting

Moodle's custom reports feature, also known as the report builder, is now supported in XP+ Premium. You can create detailed reports that can be emailed regularly and shared with anyone, from learners to admins. Track progress, create custom rankings, identify learners going MIA, and more. This ensures everyone stays informed and gets the reporting they need.

Searchable Reports and UI Enhancements

We've made it easier to search for participants by name in reports and logs, simplifying information retrieval. Managers can also access leaderboard pages, even if they are restricted for learners, along with several UI/UX improvements to ensure a seamless experience.

Quest 1.5

This update might be small, but it packs a punch, focusing on compatibility with Moodle 4.5 and including a few extras to enrich your teaching tools. More exciting features are on the horizon!

Recruit for Achievements and Challenges

Now, instructors can recruit users for targeted challenges and achievements. For example, this allows for the assignment of one-off challenges alongside a main quest. It can also be used to create "hard to get" or "secret" achievements that only become available when other requirements have been fulfilled. This variety enriches the learner's journey and enhances engagement.

Flexible Storytelling Capabilities

Objectives and rewards can be strategically placed anywhere in a quest dialogue. This flexibility adds depth to your storytelling options, as you can tease and entice learners by showing what the objectives and rewards are when a quest is offered, making narratives more captivating and keeping learners motivated.

Streamlined Testing

Instructors can now reset recruits' missions, allowing users to start from the beginning again. This is particularly useful for testing and refining quests, facilitating multiple attempts.
