Achievements and records

Every achievement here is earned by assessed learning and says exactly what was assessed.

Achievements and records

Stage 1 of 5

Starting

A welcome state on starting a first lesson. It earns no points and recognises no assessment.

Points never move a stage.

02Stack

How achievements stack

Each course counts in its one primary discipline.

What each achievement recognises

Choose a family to read its rule and how many are defined and available.

04Completion

The completion record underneath

Record	Earned by	What it does not mean
Completion record	Finishing one course under assessed completion: every quiz passed, every assignment graded as passed, every required lab passed	That you can practise the subject unsupervised

05Points

Points follow assessed effort

Points are a measure of assessed activity, not of mastery, and never unlock or buy anything.

Only assessed work earns points: passed quizzes, assignments graded as passed, passed labs and assessed course completion. Viewing a lesson earns nothing.
Completing a course earns its measured hours times a level factor (L1 1.0, L2 1.2, L3 1.4, L4 1.6) times five: today from 98 points (RAF-103) to 208 (RAN-308). Courses in development show points once their hours are measured.
Discipline, department, faculty, programme and nexus achievements carry no points, so stacking records never inflates a total.
Points are capped at 300 a day and can never be bought or exchanged.

06Integrity

Assessed completion only

Achievements are awarded only after assessed completion: strict course completion, a passing grade on every course and required labs checked on the server.
The award is triggered by a completion event that the Academy re-checks against the quiz, assignment and lab records, never by a plain completion button.
Peer reviews count only when a facilitator accepts them with a completed rubric; answers count only when an instructor accepts them.

07Privacy

Private by default

Your achievements and points are visible to you on your dashboard and to no one else until you opt in.
You choose, achievement by achievement, what appears on your community profile.
Leaderboards are opt-in and per cohort; there is no global ranking of learners.
There are no streaks, no loss mechanics and no penalties for taking time off.
Your learning records are personal data: you can export them and ask for them to be erased.

08Later

Portable badges, after a decision

Each achievement already has a stable address, a version and a fingerprint of its rules, so a record earned today keeps its meaning. Portable badges in the Open Badges format are a later step, designed to follow a decision on their wording and on who issues them; until then, records stay on the learner's dashboard.

09Questions

Questions and answers

Does a completion record prove I am competent?

No. It records that you finished a course and passed its assessed activities; competence in practice also rests on experience and supervision beyond any course.

Can I buy points or achievements?

No. Points come only from assessed learning, are capped per day, and are never purchasable or exchangeable for money.

Why does a course count in only one discipline?

So one course cannot earn several discipline achievements at once. A course may be taught in other disciplines too, but it counts in its primary discipline only.
