How do we track participation?

Published
Updated

HuntCode tracks participation by recording the learning activities you complete across the platform. These events power your personal heatmap, help you stay consistent, and allow partner institutions to understand engagement at a high level. Only meaningful progress is counted, and everything is designed around transparency and privacy.

What Counts as Participation?

Participation is tracked when you complete activities that demonstrate real learning progress. Each event identifies key actions—not passive views—to give a reliable picture of your effort.

  • Quiz completions: Finishing a quiz or knowledge check.
  • Assessment completions: Scenario-based or multi-step evaluations.
  • Code cards: Completing coding challenges in CodeLab.
  • Hands-on labs: Finishing browser-based labs and simulations.

Your Personal Heatmap

Your activity appears on a 365-day heatmap that highlights how often you engage with the platform. The more days you complete meaningful actions, the stronger your streak becomes. This is designed to help you build a habit—not to pressure you, but to give you a clear view of your learning journey.

  • Daily activity squares: Each square represents at least one completed learning event.
  • Color intensity: More completions on a given day deepen the square’s color.
  • Rolling year view: Shows your engagement over the past 365 days.

What Instructors Can See

Partner institutions (colleges, bootcamps, workforce programs) receive only high-level participation insights. These are designed to help instructors understand engagement—not monitor individual activity in detail.

  • Active vs. inactive learners: Who has logged recent activity.
  • Module progress: Which modules have been started or completed.
  • Quiz performance summaries: Aggregated, non-identifying trends.

Privacy and Data Use

We only track activity directly related to learning progress, and we never collect unnecessary personal data. Participation signals are used solely to power your heatmap and help institutions support learners more effectively.

In short, HuntCode tracks only meaningful learning actions—quizzes, assessments, code cards, and labs—to give you a clear, privacy-respecting picture of your progress and consistency over time.
