We’re excited to share that the Points functionality within Anthology® Engage is now live with the first 10 campuses as part of our Early Access Release Program. This initial wave marks a significant milestone, as these institutions are gaining early access to the new Points experience and actively contributing to its development well ahead of general availability.
We are incredibly grateful to our early customers for partnering with us in this important phase. And this is just the beginning!
Program Overview: What’s Happening Now
The Early Access Program provides select customers with access to an initial version of Points, receiving ongoing feature updates leading up to the full launch.
Our early adopters are already testing the platform in real-world settings and sharing feedback with our team. This input is essential as we continue refining Points to better meet the needs of campuses.

Feedback in MotionAs the Points Early Access Program springs to life, the energy among our early adopters has been nothing short of inspiring. “Watching campuses get creative with Point Activities and imagining the possibilities has truly been the highlight of this launch,” shares Senior Product Manager Jessica Duvall.
Even in these first days, feedback has come in waves—campuses are eager, collaborative, and consistently excited by the immediate potential of gamification to boost student engagement. The most thrilling part? Seeing how real-time campus insights are already shaping the next generation of Points features.
From leaderboard improvements to smarter dashboards, every suggestion fuels our momentum. As Jessica puts it, “This is just the beginning of a community-driven revolution in engagement. Every piece of feedback helps us make Points a more powerful and flexible hub for student success.” |
