Indexis: Gamified Learning: Courses, Modules, Lessons, Tests, Certificates, Points Exchange, Rankings

What this solution does

INDEXIS Training is a learning module for 1C-Bitrix that enables the creation of a comprehensive training section on a website for employees, partners, and clients. The functionality supports the creation of courses, modules, and lessons, administration of tests, accumulation of points for successful completion, issuance of certificates, generation of rankings, and a rewards catalog. Users select a course, study materials, pass intermediate and final tests, earn points, and can exchange them for goods or services from the catalog. Upon course completion, a certificate record is automatically generated.

The module addresses the organization of internal, partner, or client training directly on the website. It facilitates the creation of structured learning programs with a hierarchy of course, module, and lesson, controls the progress of lessons and tests, verifies knowledge, and accumulates points for successful learning. It supports importing educational content from prepared JSON files.

The structure of courses and modules is implemented as a two-level system where lessons are stored as elements within modules. Each course supports two learning modes: linear, which enforces a sequential opening of lessons and tests, and free, which allows users to complete the material in any order.

The module provides a testing system for individual sections and final course assessments, supporting questions with one or multiple correct answers. Points are automatically awarded for successfully completed tests, with a user operation history and ranking system. Accumulated points can be exchanged in a catalog of goods or services, where user orders are also tracked. If the sales module is present, PDF certificates can be generated with customizable backgrounds, logos, signatures, seals, and text. Course content, modules, lessons, and tests are imported from three JSON files. The import process validates data structure and relationships, supporting the creation of new entities or updates to existing ones based on their CODE. The administrative panel includes demo data, file examples, and instructions for content preparation. Public learning page appearance can be customized via the admin interface, allowing adjustments to colors, margins, border radius, and text sizes. Built-in links provide access to documentation for content managers, users, and developers.

The module implements a gamified learning system featuring courses, modules, lessons, tests, certificates, a points exchange mechanism, and a ranking table. The data structure relies on the indexis_training infoblock type and nine specific infoblocks: courses, the course-module-lesson hierarchy, tests, test results, certificates, points history, a points-based catalog, orders, and the ranking table. Learning progress is stored in the b_highload_indexis_training highload block. The public section of the system is accessible via the /training/ directory.

Functionality is delivered through the indexis:course.nav, indexis:tests, indexis:studying, indexis:order, and indexis:dashboard components. Customization of the interface is supported by standard component templates prefixed with indexis_training_*.

The module requires 1C-Bitrix with D7 support, specifically the main module version 14.00.00 or higher, along with the iblock and highloadblock modules version 14.0.0 or higher. The hosting environment must meet the system requirements of the Bitrix edition and allow the creation of infoblocks and highload blocks, as well as file writing to the site directory.

The sale module is not mandatory for core functionality; without it, management of courses, lessons, tests, points, and orders remains available. However, PDF certificate generation and internal store transactions are unavailable without the sale module. No external paid services or third-party API connections are required for the module to operate.

Installation and initial configuration require a user with site administrator privileges. Working with educational content requires an understanding of the course, lesson, and test structure. The module's source code is available for installation and use; encoded PHP code is not required.

When needed, General iT can implement “Indexis: Gamified Learning: Courses, Modules, Lessons, Tests, Certificates, Points Exchange, Rankings”, configure the module and verify it against the current website setup.
