Earn Digital Badges for Your IoT Learning Achievements

Learner engagement can be monitored with a weighted score:

\[ E = 0.5\,Q + 0.3\,L + 0.2\,B \]

where \(Q\) is quiz completion rate, \(L\) is lab completion rate, and \(B\) is badge progress (all normalized 0 to 1).

Worked example: For \(Q=0.82\), \(L=0.55\), and \(B=0.40\), engagement score is \(E=0.5(0.82)+0.3(0.55)+0.2(0.40)=0.655\). Tracking this weekly helps detect drop-off early.
