How do I get learning points for watching video?

Question

I realise that I keep zero learning points for watching, eventhough I finish watching the video from beginning to end. Is there anything I would need to click to get the points to be registered?

I could complete the lessons now without the watching video points as I can answer the questions on the flashcards, but I believe that in the future, it might be a lot harder that I would need the points from 'watching'

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just be sure your are signed in and that you click the green 'Continue to Flashcard' button after you watch the video.

Answer 2

For some unknown reason, I have problems receiving points for certain things. For instance, when I vote for someone's post, I should receive one point, but I always receive zero. Once in a blue moon, I will receive a point or two for voting up someone's post, but that is the exception.

I have also had problems receiving points for watching the Learn Videos. What I have found is that if I watch the video and then immediately go to the flashcards or "recognize" portion, I do receive my one-hundred points. If I watch the video alone, I receive nothing.

I am not sure why this happens. I have tried different browsers and different computers. I have posted a thread about this awhile back, but I still don't have an answer. As for voting up people, it doesn't bother me if I don't receive the points. But for the lessons, at some point, it might be difficult to complete the lesson without those one-hundred points. So I do see your point. I know I have not helped you in any way. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this problem. I'm interested to see if anyone else has any new suggestions.

Thanks Nicole, and yes, I have signed in and have received points for all other sections apart from this. I have tried watching the same video again, and continue watching other videos, or went straight to flashcards... all sorts of things I can think of and it still is zero. It is a bit weird and I hope someone will be able to answer/help with this.

Answer 4

Are you registered and signed in? If I watch the entire video, I have received all the points.

Answer 5

I have tried watching the same video again... and it still is zero

You say this is just for one particular video? Which one is it? I haven't had this problem, but maybe there is a problem with just that video, or a few others.

Answer 6

Oh, I tried the first and the second video of Lesson 1. I will keep trying. No one has similar problems though?
