With learner budget, learners can buy activities using credits. Activities that require credits show a small icon and the price on the tile. You choose which activities cost credits and how many, then add credits to learners individually or with automations.
What is the learner budget
Learners see the credit price on the activity tile.
Clicking a priced activity opens a pop-up to confirm the purchase.
If a learner does not have enough credits, the pop-up explains that the budget is insufficient.
Learners can check their current budget on their user profile.
