MobyMax tracks Time Spent to measure focused learning activity within a student's account. This metric only accounts for time actively spent working on problems, ensuring accurate tracking of engagement.

  • Time is calculated per problem, with a two-minute cap per question.
  • Distraction time is excluded, providing a clear measure of actual work completed.
  • The On Task % metric complements Time Spent by indicating how efficiently a student is using their time.

How "Time Spent" is Calculated


Example Calculation:

  • A student spends 50 seconds on one problem and 120 seconds on another.
  • Total Time Spent = 170 seconds → Rounded to 3 minutes in reports.


Time for each problem is capped at 2 minutes, meaning:

  • If a student spends longer than 2 minutes on a problem, only 2 minutes will be counted.
  • Excess time will be reflected in the On Task % metric instead.

Understanding On Task %

The On Task % measures how much of a student’s session is spent actively working on problems.


Example:

  • A student spends 30 minutes logged into MobyMax.
  • They only spend 10 minutes actively answering problems.
  • Result:
    • Time Spent = 10 minutes
    • On Task % = 33% (10 out of 30 minutes focused work)


Low On Task % may indicate distractions, while higher percentages show strong engagement.
