Student Gamification Docs

For Core Programs

Points for learning actions

Here is how points will be assigned in our simple easy to track Version 1 of gamification:

Students progress to the next module if they have 850 points and above, 750 points are on probation and have to do a bonus item as they join the next module/course. You should not proceed if you have a pending weekly project that isn’t satisfactory.

Areas for bonus points

1. Masterclasses: 50 points if one attends the workshop/masterclass in week 5
2. Technical blog post: 100 points if one publishes a blog on Medium or on the Zindua blog
3. Open-source contribution: 100 points if one has a commit approved for a Github project

Module Grading System

While Zindua doesn’t care about grades, we track learning actions by points to determine whether a student has completed a module satisfactorily. For learners who will require final transcripts or final grades, here is how it will be awarded:

For 30-Day Challenges

Here is how points will be assigned for our 30-day challenges:

Students are required to get at least 450 points to graduate the challenge. Students also have to complete the capstone project to graduate the challenge.
