Changing the Length of Sessions
Students are automatically logged out of MathFactLab at the end of each session. Some days you may want students to have a longer session, while other days a shorter one is more appropriate. For weekly usage recommendations, please refer to this guide.
You can easily adjust the length of student sessions. Both administrators and teachers can set sessions anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. The steps for changing the time for an individual student are slightly different than those for updating multiple students at once.

When a student’s session time runs out, MathFactLab will log them off only after they finish the activity they are working on. This ensures they can complete their current activity without interruption.
