From Boring to Brilliant: How to Gamify Your Moodle™ Courses the Right Way

Make eLearning Stick: Hands-On Moodle™ Gamification Training with Pukunui

Keeping learners motivated has always been tricky — and if you’re managing online courses today, you know the old ways aren’t enough. That’s why we designed Pukunui’s LMS Gamification Training: a practical, one-day course that shows you how to turn your Moodle™ courses into experiences learners actually want to complete.

If you’re an educator, Moodle™ admin, instructional designer, or corporate trainer ready to move beyond standard slides and quizzes, this session will give you real tools you can use immediately — no gimmicks, no fluff.


Why This Training Matters

Gamification isn’t about slapping on badges and hoping for the best. Done right, it taps into motivation, focus, and a healthy sense of competition — and that’s exactly what we’ll teach you.

Here’s what makes Pukunui’s Gamification Training different:

  • Real Techniques, Not Just Concepts: You’ll build actual gamified activities inside Moodle™ — including H5P challenges, micro-credentials, and competency tracking.
  • Built for Experienced Moodle™ Users: We dive straight into practical methods for people who already know their way around the platform.
  • Learn by Doing: Every section includes exercises where you’ll create something usable — not just theory.
  • Focus on What Works: You’ll get real-world examples, what to avoid, and how to track if your gamification strategy is actually improving engagement.
  • Connect with Others: Work alongside other trainers, teachers, and admins who are trying to solve the same problems you are.

Who Should Join?

This session is for people who want their online courses to work — not just tick boxes.

  • Educators and trainers who want students to stay motivated all the way to the end.
  • Moodle™ administrators ready to take their platforms beyond the basics.
  • Instructional designers aiming to build better, more rewarding experiences.
  • Corporate trainers looking for smarter ways to keep employees engaged.
  • Anyone passionate about making learning more effective — and more fun.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the day, you’ll be able to:

  • Build interactive course elements that drive engagement (no coding needed).
  • Use H5P to create quizzes, puzzles, and challenges that don’t feel like homework.
  • Design competency frameworks and link them to real incentives inside Moodle™.
  • Set up micro-credentials to reward real progress — and motivate the next step.
  • Understand where gamification fits (and where it doesn’t).
  • Read your Moodle™ learner analytics to see what’s actually working.

What’s Inside the Day

Here’s a quick look at the training structure:

Part 1: Getting Gamification Right

  • What gamification actually is — and common mistakes to avoid.
  • How simple psychology makes learning stickier.
  • Which Moodle™ features you can (and should) use to gamify courses.

Part 2: Building Gamified Courses

  • Setting up points, badges, and leaderboards that matter.
  • Using H5P tools inside Moodle™ to create real challenges.
  • Creating pathways and rewards that motivate real behavior change.
  • Using Moodle™ reports to track and tweak your gamification setup.

Throughout the day, you’ll work on exercises that leave you with finished pieces — not just ideas.
