Body

Leaderboards give your Learners an overview of others’ progress in your Litmos account to encourage them to take more Courses.

Leaderboard – Account

When the Leaderboard is enabled for your account, all Learners can view the badges and points that others have earned within your account. Gamification will need to be enabled to see the option to allow leaderboards, and badges/points will need to be created before the Leaderboard will start to populate.

Place on the Leaderboard is determined by the number of points earned, not the number of badges.

See Gamification Overview for more information.
