Tracking your hours helps you see the time you’re putting into your studies. When combined with your Up Score, it gives you a clear picture of your time on Up Learn 📈
What contributes to my time spent?
Your hours reflect the actual time you’ve actively spent learning on the platform.
Time is automatically tracked in the background whenever you’re working through activities. This gives you a clear and accurate record of your study hours⏱️
You earn hours by:
⭐ Completing video lessons in full
⭐ Watching summaries
⭐ Completing progress and section quizzes
⭐ Attempting Exam questions
⭐ Using Refresh Knowledge and Strengthen
You won’t gain any time if you don’t fully complete a video or quiz, so make sure you tick off each activity! ✅
What doesn’t contribute to my time spent?
The following won’t add to your hours spent on Up Learn:
❌ Not fully completing an activity
❌ Exam Papers (these currently don’t count towards hours, but you’ll still earn XP)
❌ Time spent navigating around the platform
❌ Any tea or coffee breaks ☕️
If you start watching a video but don't finish it, the time won't be counted 📹
How can I track the time I’ve spent?
Your weekly hours appear on your Courses page, just above your modules.
🔎 This gives you a quick snapshot of how much time and effort you’ve put in each week.
⏰ Your hours reset every Monday (Monday–Sunday cycle)
