What are the two XP icons on an activity?
In general, activities can only be completed twice for full rewards—which are XP and Coins. When you complete an activity for the first time, one of these XP icons will change from gray to blue. The same will happen to the second XP icon when the activity is completed a second time.
After you have completed an activity twice, you will see two blue XP icons on the activity and will no longer receive any XP for completing that activity again and will receive a smaller number of Coins for additional completions.
This is to encourage you explore and learn more by completing a wide range of learning activities. You can, of course, choose to replay an activity that you’ve already received the max rewards for; you just won’t get the same rewards.
What is the Available XP toggle for?
The Available XP toggle is a simple way for you to filter out learning activities that don’t have any available XP for you to earn. The toggle is located in the bottom left corner of the Kiosk Menu; when the toggle is to the left (as shown below), you will see all activities. When you click it and the toggle is on the right, you will only see activities that you can complete to earn XP.
