Lesson 3: Monitoring progress towards masteryUsing Khan Academy's activity overview report
As a teacher, you'll find immense value in using Khan Academy's Activity Overview Reports. These reports offer you detailed insights into your student's learning progress. You can see your students' time dedicated to their activities, indicating their engagement and commitment.
You'll also see their skills leveling up, providing a snapshot of their progress and achievements. Most importantly, the data on skills to proficiency highlights areas where your students fully grasp content and are ready to move on. This information can guide you in tailoring your instruction and offering targeted support, helping your students reach their learning goals.
These reports empower you to monitor student progress effectively and make data-driven decisions to enhance your teaching strategies.
Activity overview activity
- Log into your Khan Academy account and navigate to your teacher dashboard
- Select the class you wish to view
- On the left navigation menu, click on Activity Overview the select the Activity tab
- You can monitor individual student course, unit, and skill data by clicking on the dropdown.
Consider:
- How are your students performing within the course or unit?
- Are they leveling up at least two skills each week?
- Are they getting at least one skill per week to proficient or higher?
Students should spend at least 30 minutes per week actively learning on Khan Academy. Select ‘Last 7 days’ from the dropdown menu and then use the Total learning minutes column to quickly check the number of minutes students have spent learning on Khan Academy in the past week. This can be a great way to recognize students who met or exceed their time goal or to offer a reminder for students to increase meaningful time on Khan Academy.
Students should aim to level up in at least two skills per week, with at least one of those skills each week reaching proficient or greater. Select Last 7 days from the dropdown menu and then use the Skills leveled up column to quickly check the number of skills students have made positive progress on in the past week. This can be a great way to recognize students who met or exceeded their goals or to intervene for students who need additional support to make skill progress.

- What is the use of asking a question? Questions asked 3 years ago were only answered 2 1/2 years later. Questions asked 1 month ago have not been answered.(2 votes)
I find that that is the nature of community forums, sometimes, especially on the sub-forums where there is less participation. (There are many fewer "teachers" than "students", for example; and I usually don't even look at these questions, unless I have one myself.) Also, the quality of the answers can vary wildly. Gamification sometimes helps, but if you need an answer quickly, you might be better off with one of the Khan Academy subreddits. I have the impression that those are more actively monitored.(1 vote)

- Why would a skill level down?(0 votes)
- A skill will only level down if a student answers a question involving that skill incorrectly. This is used to provide them with extra practice for that skill.(1 vote)
