Challenge Level

• A vertical bar of stars at running up the left side of the screen displays challenge level achieved for the current shape.

Example:

• This student has achieved Level 1 for the Lowercase "m" and is working toward reaching Level 2.

Progress Toward Advancement

• A segmented vertical bar running up the right side of the screen tracks progress toward advancement to the next level.
  
  
• The number of segments represent how many times (1 to 10) a student must attain her accuracy goal before advancing. (These parameters are set by the educator in the Tutor Options area of the Lesson Editor screen by setting the Accuracy and Achievement Goals.)
  
  
• Each time a student meets the accuracy goal, a Red segment, turns Green.
  
  
• When all segments have turned from Red to Green, a star will glide across the screen from right to left to show the student she has succeeded and is moving up to a new challenge level.

Example:

• This student has achieved her target accuracy one out of four times needed to advance from working on Level 2 to working on Level 3.

Numeric Accuracy Score

• Numeric Accuracy Score represents overall deviation from centerline, divided by the total number of attempts required to complete the shape.
  
  
• A student's accuracy score is generated by a series of complex algorithms and measurements gathered by the computer. As a student writes a shape on the touch screen, the computer captures and stores the amount of deviation from that shape's centerline, if any. PointScribe uses that data to calculate and display the accuracy score.

Example:

• This student has achieved 82% accuracy on her last attempt on the lowercase "m."
  
  
• If she had started the letter, then gone off the line (one failed attempt), then completed the letter successfully, her score would be 41%.

Challenge Level Advance
This video shows a student mid-lesson, having just succeeded for the THIRD time at completing the uppercase F at a target accuracy of 70% set by his teacher:

• There are no gold stars yet in the the vertical line of stars on the left side of the screen indicating that this student is working to complete Challenge Level 1 for the uppercase F.
  
  
• The segmented vertical bar on the right side of the screen tell us that he needs to meet his accuracy goal three times before advancing.
  
  
• The bottom two segments of the bar are green and the top is red, meaning, he has successfully completed the F at his accuracy goal twice and needs to accomplish it one more time to earn a star and advance a Challenge Level.
  
  
• As the clip begins, he has just succeeded for the third time. The top segment turns green and a star shoots across the screen to populate the first Challenge Level star.
