The 2022 Ntataise Championship had 9 quests with challenges that needed to be done. The championship theme is the National Curriculum Framework and Learning through Play. Click here to download the NCF document.

What is the ELDA wheel?

The NCF (National Curriculum Framework) identify 6 Early Learning Development Areas (ELDAs). They are:

• ELDA 1: Well-being
• ELDA 2: Identity and belonging
• ELDA 3: Communication
• ELDA 4: Exploring mathematics
• ELDA 5: Creativity
• ELDA 6: Knowledge and understanding of the world

What is a quest?

A quest is a set of challenges that all have something in common. Each one is based on a different Learning through Play activity video.

For the 2022 ECD Championship, there are 9 quests. Quests have to be done in the order that they are given. You can’t move on to the next Quest until the last one is complete.

The Championship Gameworld looks like this:

To start or continue with a quest, tap on the superhero holding Enzo’s hand.

As you complete the challenges, your superhero will move to the next quest, indicated by the red “locked” circles.

When you begin a new Quest, you will see an empty ELDA wheel. When a Quest’s challenges are completed, the ELDA wheel will show all the ELDAs discussed in the challenges.

Each quest focus on a specific video. How do I view or download the videos?

You can watch the videos directly on the app or download them. Then, tap the play button on the video screen to start the video (a triangle pointing to the right).

You can download and save a video to your phone by tapping on the link at the bottom of the video. Your browser will open a page where you can choose the file size you want to download.

What is a challenge?

To finish a challenge, you have to complete three steps:

• Step 1: The introduction  – Read the introduction and watch the video to learn more about the subject.
• Step 2: Answer the questions – Use what you learned from reading the challenge’s introduction to help you answer the questions about it.
• Step 3: Peer Review Marking – mark your colleagues’ answers. It is a chance to learn about new ideas and share creative solutions that your colleagues came up with. You can also earn bonus points to add to your score.

Each Quest has one to three challenges, which must be completed in order. To get to a challenge, tap on lock in the green circle on the quest screen.

After completing a challenge, you will return to the Quest screen. The stars above the challenge button will indicate how well you did in the challenge. The stars will ONLY be available after all the questions have been answered and all the submissions have been reviewed by your colleagues. In other words, if a challenge has an open-text question, you will need to wait until the question is reviewed before your stars appear.

After completing a challenge, you will see all the correct answers to the questions. You can check the correctness of your answers by going back into the challenge.

You can not change your answers.

You must go back to the game map when the Quest is completed. Tap the arrow in the top right corner of the blue bar on your screen to go back to the map.

The progress bar at the top of the quest screen will fill up as you complete each challenge. 

How do the question points work?

Next to each question number, it’s easy to see how many points each question is worth. For example:

Multiple Choice Questions: 

• Question 4: [20] means that if you answer the question correctly, you will get 20 points.
• Question 4: [40] means that there is more than one right answer. But each answer can be right in different ways. How many points you get will depend on how right your answer is. (100 %, 75 %, 50 % or 25 %).

 At the end of each challenge, you can go back and look for the correct answers to all questions.

Open Text Questions:

• Your colleagues review open-text questions. When they mark, they can choose from one of five options based on how right your answer is:
  • “Not at all” factor = 0%
  • “Not well, but they tried” = 25%
  • “Good answer, but something is missing ”  = 50%
  • “Correct answer”  = 75%
  • “Fantastic answer” = 100%
• Question 4: [50] means that you can get a maximum of 50 points.
• Between 3 and 7 people must mark each question before a score is allocated to the answer.

Need login assistance?

There are a couple of reasons why you might struggle to log in:

1. I forgot my username, or I do not have access to the email address/telephone number I used to register.
   You need to create a new account. If you do not have access to the original email address or telephone number, you will not be able to use the “Forgot password” function, so it will be better to create a new account. 
   
   
2. I forgot my password.
   Tap the “Forgot password?” link below the password box on the login screen. The next screen will prompt you to enter the email address / mobile number you used to register. You will receive an email / SMS with instructions.
   
   If you registered with an email address, you would receive an email with a link. When you tap on the link, the Reset Password screen is where you need to create a new password.
   
   If you registered with a mobile number, you would receive an SMS with a One Time password. You need to enter the password on the Reset Password screen and create a new password.
   
   
3. I remember my login details, but the login details don’t work.
   The first question you need to ask yourself is if you verified the login details. The verification process involves either an email with a link you need to tap or an SMS with a One Time Password you need to enter. If you did not complete this process, your login details would not be valid.
   
   If you completed the verification process and can not log in, try to use the “Forgot Password?” function to make sure you create a password that you remember.
   
   
4. I did not receive a verification email or SMS.
   If you did not receive a verification email or SMS, you might have made a mistake entering your details. We are all just human, and while typing on phones, we sometimes make mistakes; this is not too serious. To ensure you used the correct spelling or number, try to register again.
   
   If you receive a message that says the user is already registered, please contact the support number for assistance.
