Changing the Length of Sessions
Students are automatically logged off MathFactLab at the end of their session. Some days you may want a longer session of MathFactLab; others you might want a shorter one. See this document more information about recommendations for student usage per week in order to make real growth in fact fluency.
Luckily, it's easy to change the number of minutes of student sessions. Session lengths can be set by administrators or teachers from five minutes up to twenty minutes. The process for changing the the length of sessions for an individual student is slightly different from changing this setting for multiple students.
When a student's session time is up, the system logs them off only after they have completed the activity that they are on. This is to allow a student the opportunity to complete the activity that they are currently working on.
All screenshots in this document and video depict fictional students.
If you need students to log off right away, and not wait until the program logs them off, know that if they are in the middle of an activity or Level Lifter that work won't be saved, but the rest of the work they completed during the session will be.
