I assume that you have understood the advantage of having your own eLearning site after reading our post last week and in order to continue helping you build a good eLearning page, today I will introduce some best WordPress gamification plugins. As you may know, gamification now is the best way to raise customer engagement, encourage users, improve the interaction of your site. In a simple way, gamification brings game features like point, level and achievement into a service which is not a game. There are a lot of famous sites successfully applied gamification into their services, we can point out StackOverflow with their reputation point and badges system, Codecademy with a badge for each completed skill, Duolingo and much more.

The question is “You are using gamification in WordPress, which plugin will you select?” and below mentioned are three WordPress plugins – simple to use but very strong and flexible to create your own gamification system to attract customers. Let’s check it out!

1. myCRED – WordPress Gamification Plugin

Conclusion

Even though the gamification right now is decently applied in some websites, no one can deny its efficiency on building and developing users/customers’ engagement, loyalty and encouraging their interaction with the website. Working on the website will be no more boring with the gamification because users can entertain and make value. Therefore, if the gamification is not available on your site now, why don’t you take a little time to add this wonderful feature to see its positive effects immediately. And if you are using WordPress as the platform for your services, let give three WordPress gamification plugins above a try, you’ll feel yourself a whole new experience.
