Built-In Engagement with Rocket

Built-In Engagement with Rocket Open LMS is the only platform with integrated learner engagement through Rocket Learning Rewards - helping organisations improve course completion and learner participation through real-world incentives and behaviour-driven engagement.

Rocket Learning Rewards Seamlessly Integrated
with Open LMS

Rocket Learning Rewards is fully built into Open LMS, adding an engagement layer that recognises learner progress and delivers meaningful rewards without requiring extra administration or external systems.

Enabling Positive & Sustainable Learning Behaviours by Leveraging Data and Real World Rewards

Rocket Learning Rewards emerged from rigorous academic research into what truly motivates learners.

Leveraging granular and highly configurable integration with Open LMS, Rocket Learning Rewards helps to develop positive, habitual learning behaviours in all students by providing access to real world rewards from globally recognised brands.

ROCKET LEARNING REWARDS

The Science Behind Success

Most learning and training platforms stop at content delivery. Rocket takes off where they end—fuelling recognition and linking verified learning activity to rewards that matter.

The platform integrates seamlessly with Open LMS, capturing granular learning data in all manner of digital learning activities from a wide range of formative learning activities including discussions and other social learning activities. This encourages students to adopt sustainable study and participation patterns that lead to consistent learning success.

Beyond Points:

Building Intrinsic Learning Motivation

Rocket’s academic foundation ensures its reward behaviours genuinely enhance learning outcomes.

Working with academics and learning professionals, Rocket’s configurable Open LMS integration does not just track what students complete — it actively promotes the actions that educators know lead to success in learning.

From first-year foundations to senior levels of study, Rocket adapts to learning complexity at every academic stage. Students earn personal recognition not only for completing assignments, but also for demonstrating critical thinking, engaging meaningfully with peers, and collaborating as part of a wider learning community.
