What does the Student Time Spent statistic represent?
In your educator dashboard, you can see how much time each student has spent watching videos. This time measure represents the actual time spent watching videos in real-time, excluding time spent reading, doing quiz questions and assignments.
In the educator dashboard, there is a table with downloadable data that displays the exact time a student has spent watching videos.
This represents the real-world time the student has spent. Here are some important considerations to keep in mind:
- Often students will watch videos at faster than 1.0x speed. If they watch at 2.0x speed, they can watch 1 hour of videos in 30 minutes. This display will show as 30 minutes - which is their real-world time spent watching.
- Often students will re-watch videos, and parts of videos multiple times. So a student could easily spend more time in a chapter than the sum of the individual video time lengths in that chatper.
- Each chapter includes text and practice quiz questions alongside the videos. The time tracker does not measure the time they spend reading or doing questions. It only measures the time spent watching the videos in real-time. We plan to change this in the future, and include the time spent reading and engaging with questions too, so that you can get a real-world measurement of a student's time studying rather than just watching videos. We haven't done this yet though.
