What is the user budget feature? ๐Ÿค”

The user budget feature allows learners to purchase activities for credits from their user budget. These activities are locked with a star icon. On the activity tile, learners can see how many credits they need to spend to unlock the activity shown with a yellow icon.

Learners can simply click on the tile to "buy" the activity๐Ÿ’ธ Learners should have sufficient budget to unlock a activity. If not, this will be stated in the pop-up.

Learners can monitor their budget via their user profile.
