The Overview is your at-a-glance view of how schools, teachers, and students use Wayground. It’s one scrolling page of summary cards and charts, and you can select many of them to open a detailed breakdown.

This article covers the Overview top to bottom. For full, exportable tables, see Reports: Detailed Data Tables. For definitions, see the Metrics and Terms Glossary.

Summary cards

The cards at the top show the headline numbers for your current filters:

Card	What it tells you
Active schools	How many schools are active, shown as active / total (for example, 70 / 72). A Most active highlight names your highest-usage school.
Active teachers	How many teachers are active, against the rostered teachers in view (for example, 1.9K / ~7.5K relevant rostered).
Active students	How many students are active.
Total sessions	How many Wayground sessions run within your filters.
Responses	How many answers students submit.
Implementation level	Your weekly practice rate: the average number of questions each student answers per week (for example, 3 question / student answered every week). The Implementation guidance section breaks this down.

Note: “Active” means a school, teacher, or student that uses Wayground within the selected time period and filters, not just one with an account. See the glossary for how active, logged-in, and rostered differ.

Open the details: select Active schools or Active teachers to open a per-school or per-teacher list you can sort and page through. See Open a detailed breakdown.

Jump between sections

Below the cards, a row of section links (Resource types, Accommodations, Trends, Implementation, and Tech-enhanced Qs) jumps you straight to that section. As you scroll, the active link shows where you are on the page.

Note: A New badge can appear next to a section link, and the exact set of links can vary by organization.

Resource types

How your sessions break down by content type, and how many teachers use each type. On screen, this section’s heading reads Resource utilisation; its link in the section row reads Resource types.

The donut splits Total sessions across the resource types: Assessments, Lessons, Videos, Passages, and Flashcards. Each slice is that type’s share of sessions.

Teachers per resource type lists how many teachers use each type, with a bar for quick comparison. The label at the top right shows how many teachers are active overall.

Open the details: select a resource type (for example, Assessments) to see the individual teachers using that type, their school, and their session counts.

Tip: Use this section to spot underused content types. A low teacher count next to a type can be a cue for targeted coaching or professional development.

Accommodations

How teachers use Accommodations, the supports they enable to help students. The cards show:

Sessions with Accommodations: sessions with at least one accommodation enabled
Teachers using Accommodations: the share of teachers using Accommodations
Students accommodated: how many students receive support

Student accommodation use by category (shown in the product as Category wise utilisation) ranks usage across categories such as Question Settings, Reading Support, Math Tools, and Learning Environment.

Open the details: select Teachers using Accommodations to see those teachers, by school and session count. Select View all to open the full Accommodations report: each accommodation, its category, the schools using it, and how many students benefit. See Reports → Accommodations.

Note: Students benefited from accommodations counts the unique students who have at least one accommodation feature enabled.

Trends

How usage is changing over time, compared with the previous year.

Three figures (Sessions, Active teachers, and Active students) each show the current value and the percentage change against the previous year. Select a figure to plot that metric on the chart.

The line chart plots usage across the period. The solid line is the Selected date range; the dashed line is the Previous year. Hover any point to see its exact value.

The Show previous year toggle (top right of the section) turns the comparison line on or off. A grouping selector next to it sets how the chart groups data: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

Tip: Use the year-over-year comparison to put a number in context. A dip late in the year is normal as the school year winds down; the previous-year line shows whether your pattern is on track.

Implementation guidance

This section shows whether students are practicing enough to get results. The in-product benchmark reads: “Wayground recommends students to answer 30+ questions / week in each subject, backed by ESSA III study.”

Students donut: active students grouped into weekly-response bands (0 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 29, and 30+ responses), with the total in the center. The more students in the 30+ band, the closer you are to the recommended level.

Teachers by response bucket: teachers grouped by how often their students respond each week, using the same bands, out of the total shown.

The Implementation level card at the top of the Overview shows the same idea as one number: the average questions each student answers per week.

Tip: The 30+ band is the one to grow. If most students sit in the lower bands, encourage more frequent practice.

Tech-enhanced questions

Tech-enhanced questions are higher-order question types, the kind students see on state assessments. This section shows how much teachers use them. The cards show:

Sessions with Tech-enhanced questions: sessions that include these question types
Teachers using Tech-enhanced questions: the share of teachers using them
Students answering Tech-enhanced questions: how many students answer them

Tech-enhanced questions utilisation ranks usage by question type (Match, Dropdown, Math Response, Hotspot, and Reorder), with the number of questions for each.

Open the details: select Teachers using Tech-enhanced questions to see the teachers using these question types. Select View all to open the full report. See Reports → Tech-enhanced Qs.

Note: In some report columns, tech-enhanced questions appear as TEI (technology-enhanced items). See the glossary.

Open a detailed breakdown

Several items on the Overview open a detail panel that slides out from the right, so you can see the records behind a number without leaving the page. Items that open a breakdown include:

Select this…	…to see
Active schools card	Each school, with its active teachers and sessions
Active teachers card	Each teacher, with their email, school, and sessions
A resource type in Resource utilisation	The teachers using that resource type, with session counts
Teachers using Accommodations	The teachers using Accommodations, with session counts
Teachers using Tech-enhanced questions	The teachers using tech-enhanced questions, with session counts

Working in a detail panel:

Sort by any column: select a column header to sort, and select again to reverse the order
Page through results using the controls at the bottom
Close the panel (the ✕ at the top) to return to the Overview

Tip: Detail panels are best for a quick look at top contributors. For the full dataset (every column, plus search and export), switch to the Reports tab.
