About the Leaderboards

The Volcanic Panic Reading Success Leaderboards are designed to boost individual student motivation and team engagement by challenging all members of a class to contribute to the overall ranking on the Leaderboard. Many teachers have indicated that working with the Leaderboards has had a remarkable effect on the Reading performance of their classes.

Each correct Answer counts towards the weekly class tally that powers the Leaderboard which facilitates intra-school and inter-school competition.

Any member of the public may view the Leaderboards.

Only Reading questions answered by students linked to a class at a school will contribute to the Leaderboards.

Accessing the Leaderboards

Go to the Volcanic Panic Reading Success Home Page and click on the Show All Results button.

Using the Leaderboards

The Leaderboard system accrues the results from all classes using the system. Where class usage meets or exceeds some minimum requirements the result is added to the Leaderboard history for later retrieval and display. This system enables a range of options to engage and motivate students.

Moment by moment the Leaderboard tracks and analyses all the answers completed by each student in every class and displays the results for those classes that meet the participation criteria. The results refresh every 15 minutes. Using the tick boxes to isolate different criteria, students can view the performance of their class by:

1. Country or state.
2. Age brackets.
3. The results just for your school.

History is kept

The Leaderboard system archives the results week by week enabling students to retrospectively view the performance of their class.

Relative improvement is shown
