Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good benchmark for EdTech engagement metrics?+
Industry benchmarks vary widely by format. Self-paced MOOCs average 5-15% completion. Paid self-paced courses average 20-40%. Cohort-based courses with accountability average 60-85%. Compare your metrics against products with a similar format, price point, and audience. More importantly, compare against your own historical performance and improve month over month. Use [retention rate](/glossary/retention-rate) benchmarks from your specific segment.
How many signals should I include in a health score?+
Three to five signals is the sweet spot. Fewer than three and the score is too volatile (one bad day tanks it). More than five and the signals start to wash each other out, making the score less actionable. Weight the signals based on their predictive power. If you have historical data, run a correlation analysis to identify which behaviors most strongly predict completion.
Should I notify learners about their health score?+
Show positive feedback (streaks, progress badges, "you're on track" messages) but do not show the raw health score. Telling a learner "your engagement score is 35/100" feels clinical and demotivating. Instead, translate at-risk status into supportive messages: "We noticed you haven't visited in a few days. Here's a quick way to get back on track." Frame interventions as helpful, not punitive.
How do I measure whether my interventions are working?+
Track three metrics for each intervention: delivery rate (% of eligible learners who receive it), response rate (% who take the intended action within 48 hours), and recovery rate (% who return to healthy status within 14 days). Run A/B tests on message copy, timing, and channel. If an intervention's response rate is below 5%, redesign it. Use the [NPS Calculator](/tools/nps-calculator) to measure whether interventions improve or harm learner satisfaction.
When should I add human interventions vs. keeping everything automated?+
Start with fully automated interventions for the first 90 days. Measure which risk segments respond to automation and which do not. Add human outreach only for learners where automated interventions have failed and the learner has invested enough effort (typically >40% progress) to justify the cost. Human interventions are 10-20x more expensive than automated ones, so reserve them for high-value segments. ---
