Use Cases / Who It’s For
The myCred Progress Map is an essential tool for any site owner looking to leverage gamification to increase retention and user activity. It is particularly effective for online educators and course creators who want to show students their progression through a curriculum, with each lesson or module completion unlocking a new step on the map. By visualizing the path to graduation, students stay motivated to complete their coursework.
Community builders and membership site owners also benefit significantly. If you operate a loyalty program, you can use the map to show customers their path to “VIP” status or exclusive rewards. Seeing their progress visually encourages repeat visits and sustained interaction with your content. Essentially, if you have a community where users earn points for actions, this plugin provides the visual incentive needed to turn casual visitors into dedicated, long-term participants.
