Active time in Imagine MyPath refers to the amount of time students spend actively engaged with lesson content in the program. It does not include time spent on the MyPath dashboard or other areas outside the lesson player. Understanding how active time is calculated and tracked can help Teachers and Administrators monitor student usage and progress effectively.
How active time is tracked
The program tracks active time continuously while students are in a lesson, including:
- Watching instructional videos
- Completing practice activities
- Taking mastery checks
Active time is calculated the same way for both learning path lessons and teacher-assigned content (via the Assignment Builder), but it is reported separately for each.
Where to find active time data
-
For learning path lessons:
- Active time appears in the Class Summary report, Student Progress report, and Usage report.
- Active time does not include time spent on assessments or in other non-lesson areas.
- Students can view their own active time for learning path lessons on their My Progress page.
-
For teacher-assigned lessons:
- Active time is viewable only on the Assignment Summary page within Assignment Builder.
- This data is not included in the main MyPath reports.
- Students cannot view their own usage data for teacher-assigned content.
Caution
The idle timeout varies by subject. In MyPath Math and Imagine+ Math, there is an automatic logout after 3 minutes of inactivity in a lesson, followed by a 3-minute countdown warning. In MyPath Reading, the idle timeout is 20 minutes. The time leading up to auto-logout is counted as active time, so encourage your students to log out when they are done with their work so that their usage time is as accurate as possible.
Note
If a MyPath Reading lesson is accessed through the MyPath Math Assignment Builder, the Math idle timeout (3 minutes) applies instead of the Reading timeout (20 minutes).
Tip
Be sure to follow the usage recommendations for Imagine MyPath to maximize the benefits of the program.
