How to use one block for all courses

In order to gather experience points from all the courses a student is participating in, you have to set the admin setting Where are experience points used? to 'For the whole site'. This setting is located under "Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level Up XP". Once set, any block newly or previously added will display the total experience points of your student.
