Time Spent tracking

Time Spent in Course Analytics is displayed in DD:HH:MM format and rounded down to the nearest minute. For example, 2 minutes 20 seconds displays as 00:00:02.

Tracking behavior

  • Every 60 seconds, Schoology checks whether the user is still active. Tracking stops when they leave the platform.

  • Tracking begins when a student opens a course material and continues while the view remains active.

  • Each continuous view is capped at 15 minutes. A 20-minute session displays as 15 minutes.

  • If you use the Time Limit feature on assessments, Elapsed Time in Grading may differ from Time Spent due to this cap.

Web and mobile web browser

  • Time is tracked while the browser tab with the material is visible on screen, even partially.

  • Tracking stops when the student switches tabs, minimizes the browser, or navigates away from the material.

  • Tracking resumes when the student returns to the tab.

  • If the same material is open in two tabs, time is not counted twice.

iOS and Android app

  • Time is tracked while the app is visible and the student is on the material view.

  • Tracking stops when the student switches apps, puts Schoology in the background, or quits the app.

  • Tracking resumes when the student returns to the app and the material view is still open.
