Learning velocity in MobyMax measures the rate of a student's learning in grade levels per school year. It is determined by:
✔ Tracking the time a student spends on MobyMax.
✔ Comparing their progress against expected grade-level growth.
✔ Projecting learning trends for the full school year.
Important: Learning velocity is not the same as actual progress but serves as a comparative metric to analyze how quickly students learn, regardless of time spent.
How Learning Velocity Works
Example:
- A student using MobyMax 1 hour per week for 4 weeks may show different total progress than a student using it 5 hours per week for 20 weeks.
- However, if both students have similar learning velocity, they are learning at the same rate, despite the difference in time investment.
✔ Learning velocity helps distinguish between the impact of time spent and a student’s learning speed.
Factors That Affect Learning Velocity
✅ Higher for students addressing foundational skill gaps – Students working on missing skills tend to progress faster.
✅ May slow down with new material – When students move beyond review and practice, their learning velocity may decrease.
Tracking learning velocity allows teachers to evaluate student progress beyond just time spent and identify areas where additional support or acceleration may be needed.
