   100 points are given for each unit completion.
   
   
   

What can be done with these points?

The points allow a student to appear on the leaderboard. The leaderboard score is reset each week so each student has a fair chance of appearing on top for the week. The student's total points are never reset and are always visible on the dashboard.

How to see points and who can see them?

Every time a student earns points there is a notification to alert the student the number of points that he or she has just earned. The student's total points are always visible on the dashboard as well as from the leaderboard in the My Profile & Reports page in the Main Navigation menu from a student's account. If the student is on the leaderboard, every student will see their name and points for the week. Teachers can also see the students name and total points in their school.
