Metrics and Terms Glossary

Tip: In the Reports tables, hover a column header to see its in-product description. Definitions marked (in-product) quote that text. The rest are plain-language explanations that match the interface.

Rostered

Teachers or students added to your organization, usually through your roster or sign-on integration. Active counts use this population as the baseline.

Logged-in Teachers

(in-product) “Number of unique teachers who have logged into their Wayground account within the selected time period.”

Active teachers

Teachers who use Wayground (for example, by hosting sessions) within the selected time period and filters. A subset of those rostered.

Active students

Students who use Wayground within the selected time period and filters.

Active schools

Schools with usage within the selected period, shown as active / total (for example, 70 / 72).

Most active

The school with the highest usage, shown on the Active schools card.

Note: “Active” means real usage within your current filters, not just that an account exists. Logged-in counts whether a teacher signs in. Active counts whether they actually use Wayground.

Session

(in-product) “The total number of sessions hosted by teachers with at least one response and two students within the selected period.” In short, a session counts only when it has at least one response and at least two students.

Response / Student response

An individual answer a student submits to a question.

Questions hosted

(in-product) “The total number of questions hosted within the selected time period.”

Resources used

The number of content resources you use, such as Assessments and Lessons.

Assessments

Graded or formative question sets.

Lessons

Instructional, slide-style content you deliver to students.

Videos

Video-based content.

Passages

Reading-passage content.

Flashcards

Flashcard-based practice.

Note: In the Reports tables, Videos appears in column names as Interactive video (for example, Interactive video sessions / Interactive Video Sessions).

Note (in-product): The product defines each per-resource session column as the “Total number of classroom sessions hosted with the activity format” of that type, for example “Assessment,” “Videos,” “Flashcards,” or “Passages.”

Basic

Common supports such as Read Aloud, Student attempts, Extra Time, and Participant Attempts.

Question Settings

Supports that adjust the question experience, such as Hints, Redemption, and Reduce Choices.

Reading Support

Reading aids such as Dyslexia Font, Translate, Font, Font Spacing, Dictionary, and Reading Mode.

Math Tools

Math supports such as Calculator and Graphing.

Learning Environment

Environment adjustments such as No Sounds and Hide Leaderboard.

Sessions with accommodations

Sessions where a teacher enables at least one accommodation.

Teachers using accommodations

The share of teachers using accommodations.

Students accommodated

Students who receive at least one accommodation.

Students benefited from accommodations

(in-product) “the number of unique students for whom at least one accommodation feature was enabled.”

Accommodations by category (for example, Basic, Reading Support)

(in-product) The “Number of students who received any one of the following accommodations” within that category. The table above lists the supports in each category.

Tech-enhanced question / TEI

A higher-order, interactive question type (for example, Match, Drag & Drop, Drop-Down, Hotspot, Reorder, Math Response, and Graph).

TEI [type] Questions (for example, TEI Hotspot Questions)

(in-product) “Number of sessions which used the ‘[type]’ higher order thinking question type.”

Category (in the Tech-enhanced Qs report)

How the report classifies a question type: Basic, Other, or Interactive & higher order. The Interactive & higher order types are the tech-enhanced ones.

Sessions / Teachers / Students answering Tech-enhanced questions

The number of sessions that include tech-enhanced questions, the share of teachers using them, and the students who answer them.

AI powered resources

(in-product) “The total number of resources hosted with the help of AI (AI Create or AI Enhance).”

% AI-Powered Resources

(in-product) “The percentage of total sessions hosted using AI Create or AI Enhance within the selected time period.”

Note: AI-powered resources are not the same as Ask Wayground AI. AI-powered resources is a usage metric (content made with AI Create or AI Enhance). Ask Wayground AI is the chat assistant for asking questions about your data. See Ask Wayground AI.

30+ questions per week

Wayground’s recommended weekly usage. The in-product line reads: “Wayground recommends students to answer 30+ questions / week in each subject, backed by ESSA III study.”

Weekly-response bands

The groupings the implementation charts use: 0 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 29, and 30+ responses.

Students by weekly responses

Active students grouped into the weekly-response bands (the donut), with the total in the center.

Teachers by response bucket

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

Implementation level (card)

The summary card at the top of the Overview: the average number of questions each student answers per week (for example, 3 question / student answered every week).

Standard Code

The code for an academic standard your content aligns to. These reflect your state’s standards (for example, Texas TEKS codes such as TX.MA.7.3.A for math or TX.LA.5.8.A for language arts).

Standard alignment

The Reports view (Reports → Standard alignment) that lists standards by how much aligned content you use.

Usage frequency

How often you use content aligned to a standard (or a question type).

Selected date range

The solid line on the Trends chart, showing your usage for the period you set with the filters.

Previous year

The dashed line on the Trends chart, showing the same metric for the prior year for comparison.

Show previous year

The toggle at the top right of the Trends section that turns the comparison (dashed) line on or off.

Trend figures (Sessions, Active teachers, Active students)

The three metrics at the top of Trends. Each shows the current value and the percentage change; select one to plot it on the chart.

Percentage change

The change next to each trend figure, comparing the current value to the previous year.

Grouping selector (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)

Sets how the Trends chart groups data over time.

Ask Wayground AI

The built-in chat assistant (“your personal analyst”) that answers plain-language questions about your usage and returns tables, numbers, or charts. See Ask Wayground AI.

Suggested prompts

Example questions shown in the chat (and as Ask anything chips on the Overview), such as “Top teachers by usage last month.”

Export formats

The two formats in the Export menu: .PDF (downloads as a document) and .Excel (arrives by email as a spreadsheet).
