About this resource

This guide explains how the Engagement channel is structured around two tools: Contests, which give learners a goal and a deadline, and the Booster Game, which delivers quick wins. First-time setup follows a four-step order: reviewing prerequisites before running a Contest, creating a Contest, customizing Boosters, and resetting Booster Game progress. Best practices include tying each contest to a single course or goal, keeping contests short, announcing winners for recognition, and resetting boosters at the start of each new campaign.
