Leaderboards Gadget
The Leaderboards gadget displays up to five active leaderboards in which the user is participating, giving them a quick overview of their current standings.
You can navigate between them within the gadget using the arrows in the upper-right corner or the bullets at the bottom, as the leaderboards are displayed in a carousel view.
In each leaderboard displayed within the gadget, you can see up to three users—yourself and two additional participants (the one ranked just above and the one just below you)—along with your rank among them and the points you have earned.
The logged-in user is highlighted, making it easy to identify their position within the leaderboard.
You can also see the number of points required to reach the next rank.
Selecting the View leaderboard option in the gadget redirects learners to the leaderboard page, where they can view their current rank, earned points, and other users participating in the leaderboard.
