Engagement Score

Each class in MakeMusic Cloud gets a single, easy-to-read Engagement Score. This score combines four essential metrics, participation, average minutes practiced, assignment completion percentage, and average grade, into a single number so you can instantly see how engaged your students are. This number increases or decreases depending on your students’ level of engagement, so you know how your class is trending at all times.

Deeper Analytics, Smarter Intervention

Go beyond the big picture. Advanced Analytics offers robust dashboards to explore real-time student engagement data for each class in MakeMusic Cloud, including:

  • Participation – What percent of your students are practicing with MakeMusic Cloud
  • Average minutes – Average minutes practiced per student per week
  • Assignment completion – Percent of students who turn in their assignments on time
  • Average Grade – Average class grade over the past 28 days

These datasets show you which classes are progressing well and which ones require intervention to get them back on track. In addition to student performance dashboards, you also receive personalized recommendations to address student needs in each class and improve learning experiences.
