Points & Levels
How users earn points & get to next levels
Points are earned by completing a story (100 points earned per story completed) and by completing the activities in a story (100 points per activity completed).
Story scoring is based on the following formula:
Total Story Score + 100 points = Points earned
Example: A drag and drop activity will earn a user 100 points. By correctly answering 4/5 questions in a quiz, another 400 points can be earned, PLUS they get the 100 points for completing the story. Based on this example, a user would earn 600 points for completing the story and would therefore achieve a Level 1 status.
Users will not earn points for the word search and memory game activities (from version 2.5+).
On a platform app, each user will see their "Current Level" (under Stats in Analytics). The higher the level, the harder it is to get to the next level.
Level 1-4 (BEGINNER): 0 - 4800 points
Level 5-9 (NOVICE): 7500 - 24,300 points
Level 10-14 (WELL-READ): 30,000 - 58,800 points
Level 15 - 19 (ACHIEVER): 67,500 - 108,300 points
The current level is determined by the number of points a user has accumulated. Points are earned by completing a story and the activities in a story.
Users can see their Grade (under Your Stats in Analytics on the app). Grading works as follows:
A++ = 100%
A+ = 95%
A = 95-80%
B+ = 80-75%
B = 75-70%
C+ = 70-65%
C = 65-60%
D+ = 60-55%
D = 55-50%
F+ = 50-45%
F = 45-40%
FF = below 40%
When a user completes a story, they have the option to re-do the story. Each attempt is archived and the most recent attempt will be valid.
How attempts and time affect the ranking
The number of attempts, i.e. number of times a user chooses to re-do a story, becomes a deciding factor when they are tied with someone else on the app leaderboard.
For example, a tied leaderboard may look like this:
1st: John 1000 points (in 2 attempts)
2nd: Jane 1000 points (in 3 attempts)
The amount of time taken to complete a story will also affect a tied ranking.
For example:
1st: Jane 1000 points, 2 attempts in 10secs
2nd: John 1000 points, 2 attempts in 15secs
