The game services leaderboard

The Game Services Leaderboard is a real time service base on user actions on multiple Kaltura applications and is for VIrtual Events only.

The leaderboard is based on Kaltura Analytics events and infrastructure.

 Note: This is a KMS-only module that depends on the Theming module.

The currently supported data sources are:

  • Registration events
  • Entry Playback (live /VOD)
  • Quiz submission
  • Chat and Collaborate upvote
  • External Sources

In its simplest form, the leaderboard is a sorted high score listing. The leaderboard provides a platform for creating and managing scores and ranks.  It displays the names, scores and ranks of the leading participants in a competition.

A gamification layer within the platform motivates users to use the platform more, increase engagement and stimulate a competition between different users.

Functionality:

  • Each user has a score and rank

    • Collect Points based on an activity

    • Get a high score to rank on the top of the leaderboard

    • Users can see their own score/rank and their place inside the group.

  • Admin sets up the activity rules for points collection.

  • Users cannot lose points, only gain.

  • Users with the same rank - the first user to achieve this rank will be higher on the leaderboard.

  • Users can be included/excluded from the Leaderboard (based on groups).

  • Final score report - consists of a summery of points per rank, score, user and rule - from highest to lowest.
