Goal Tracker Conference Schedule (Updated)
Aug 21, 2009
We will be attending several conferences this fall and spring. If you are going to be there, make sure to
stop by our booth and meet us! It will be a great time to get a live demonstration.
Mastery Prediction - See news on July, 29th for details
New & Improved Summary Report
More quick links in the Control Panel (Easier to Navigate)
New manager makes it easier to un-archive goals
Advantage Reports (for parents) are now easier to create and manage
Other minor changes and improvements
Update: These features are now live!
We will soon be releasing an update that allows Goal Tracker to predict the mastery date of your objectives! But don't get confused, this is not just a guess, our engineers have developed a way to predict progress based on students' data.
How will Estimated Mastery help me?
Goal Tracker can now shed some light on that age old question "How long?". Our goal is to make your life easier, and we can do that by helping you answer tough questions like this. It can be really hard to glance at data and guess when an objective might reach mastery, so let Goal Tracker do the work for you.
How is Estimated Mastery going to work?
It's easy! You just take your data as normal and Goal Tracker will use that data to simulate points. The simulation takes into account the trend, variation in data, time between data points, and more... (math is not fun, so we will spare you the details).
What can I expect from the estimated data?
You can expect a prediction of 5 sessions that will be as accurate as the existing data allows. The algorithm that determines where to project data takes into account many factors... none of which are guessing :)
Will the mastery prediction always be accurate?
The only thing we have right now that predicts the future perfectly is our uncle's crystal ball. Unfortunately, we were unable to borrow it from him. But seriously, the prediction is strictly based on the student's past data. There might be other factors that affect the progress of the student that we cannot predict (which may cause the prediction to be off).
Can Estimated Mastery be turned off?
Yes, but why blow out the candle that lights the way?
