The Game Center is a section in the learner platform where users can demonstrate their knowledge as well as acquire further knowledge.
-
Our platform offers 7 games that enhance memory retention and encourage users to spend more time studying.
-
Core Games include: Card Picker, Card Hunter I, Card Hunter II, Card Coupler, Card Sweeper, Additional Games: Crossword Puzzle, and Sudden Death.
-
Six of these games are based exclusively on flashcard content, and one uses practice questions (Sudden Death). You can match flashcard terms to the correct definition and earn a high score compared to all other users in the course. We recommend that you have at least 20 flashcards in your course so that the games remain fresh, exciting, and randomized (the Card Picker game requires 20 flashcards minimum).
Turning Games in the Game Center On/Off
Card Coupler, Card Hunter I, Card Hunter II, Card Picker and Card Sweeper games are turned ON by default at both the tenant and course levels. Crossword Puzzle and Sudden Death are OFF by default at the tenant level and ON at the course level. All games can be toggled on/off at the tenant level via Console and at the course level via BluePrint's Course navigation. To do so, follow these steps:
Console
- Under the Settings tab, click on Feature Access.
- Toggle the game(s) you'd like to turn on/off at the Tenant Level.
BluePrint
-
Navigate to the course you'd like to configure.
-
Under Course Details, click on Configuration.
-
Use the search bar to find a specific game, or use the Feature Family filter and select Game Center to search for all games. Click on Apply.
-
Toggle the game(s) you'd like to turn on/off. Your selections will save and go into effect automatically - there is no need to publish changes to the course.
Note: The games need to be turned ON at the tenant-level to be available for learners. To turn features on/off at the tenant-level, check out the section above or our article here.
