At Mindstone, we're on a mission to create a dynamic, engaging, and insightful learning experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of formal education. With this vision in mind, we're thrilled to announce the Beta release of Evidence Points.
What are Evidence Points?
Evidence Points (EPs) offer an innovative way to visualize and quantify your learning progress. Every time you engage in a learning activity on Mindstone—like completing trivia or practicing in the Sandbox—you earn EPs based on the quality, relevance, and performance of your actions.
High-quality contributions, such as detailed answers in text-based trivia or effective prompts in the Sandbox, earn you more EPs, highlighting your active and meaningful engagement.
Key Takeaway
We want to put the power in your hands to unlock opportunities of all sorts by being able to evidence your continuous learning. We believe that with Evidence Points, we're one step closer to making every moment of your learning journey visible, measurable, and, most importantly, rewarding.
How does it work right now?
We're starting with the basics: knowledge and skill validation (i.e. active learning). EPs provide clear, progressive feedback that will help you understand exactly where and how much you're growing and what you need to focus on.
Each piece of content has a maximum amount of EPs you can earn by engaging with it. Mindstone uses AI to score every piece of content to determine its overall value. This score is used as the base for the maximum amount of EPs that can be earned. You can see this amount on the preview view of any piece of content.
How are you scoring content?
This scoring underpins our EP calculation for active learning. Currently, we score all content on 12 distinct dimensions, ranging from the complexity of the content, its relevance to the identified skills, to the source's credibility, and many others.
This method ensures the content's intrinsic educational value is accurately reflected in the EPs earned. By leveraging these multiple dimensions for scoring, we can provide a more detailed, accurate, and fair distribution of EPs.
Why Evidence Points?
By documenting and showcasing your daily activity, you gain a clearer picture of your progress and development that you can actually share with others. We call them Evidence Points for a very specific reason: it emphasizes our commitment to give you concrete, tangible proof of learning.
We have a core belief that learning is not just about absorbing information, but about developing and demonstrating skills. By using a point system, we are able to show the granular development in your skills and allow you to receive acknowledgement for varying degrees of engagement.
Evidence Points, therefore, offer more than just a quick feedback; they provide a solid indication of your learning footprint.
What value do Evidence Points bring?
Evidence Points transform invisible learning into visible achievement displayed prominently on your personal dashboard, celebrated on cohort leaderboards, and recognized beyond the program, giving you quantifiable proof of your engagement with AI skills development and fostering healthy competition among learners. With a 350 EP minimum to complete the Enterprise AI Academy, learners demonstrate baseline AI competency, but dedicated learners often exceed 1,000 EP, establishing themselves as standout contributors within their organizations.
