Stuck Students Feature: Identifying and Supporting Struggling Learners

We’ve added a new feature designed to help you quickly identify students who are currently struggling with their tasks in real-time. The "Stuck Students" block on your Weekly Dashboard highlights those who’ve spent significantly more time than expected on a current task without completing it, allowing you to intervene early and provide support.

What is the Stuck Students Feature?


The "Stuck Students" block provides real-time insights into students who may need extra support. If a student takes longer than expected on a current task, they will appear in this section, allowing you to quickly identify those struggling.


1. Compare the time spent: hover over a student's time to see how long it typically takes others to complete the same task.


2. Access task details: click on the task name to view exactly what the student is working on and where they are struggling.
3. Take action quickly: use these insights to decide whether the student needs a brief explanation or extra practice.

How the System Determines a Stuck Student

The Stuck Students feature uses an algorithm to calculate the maximum expected time for each task based on statistical data and our methodologists' estimates. If a student takes longer than this time, they are marked as "stuck”.

This feature works closely with the Intervention Alert, which tells you when a student has had accuracy problems on certain tasks. These tools help you step in quickly and give your students the help they need to stay focused and do better.

Why This Matters to You


  • Save Time: Easily spot students who need help with a glance at your Weekly Dashboard.
  • Targeted Support: Understand exactly which task a student is struggling with and decide whether they need extra practice or a brief explanation.
  • Better Insights: Get real-time data on students' time spent per task, helping you make more informed decisions about interventions.

We believe this feature will significantly enhance your ability to monitor student progress and offer personalized support where it's needed most.
