    This is a very interesting and useful site that encourages student learning and improvement. To provide a method of preventing students from moving on to another topic before fully understanding is ideal . This is ideal because this strategy directs the students to improve in their learning. As educators, we know that some students would move on from topic to topic so that they can click complete but this strategy is very useful.
    I also like that this academic website can be used for home , public and private schools, thus providing useful and important information and quizzes.
    Although a negative point was given, this site seems to be very well put together and useful for teachers and students.

LearnStorm by Khan Academy

By
 LearnStorm is a mastery challenge program that Khan Academy uses as a data tracker. It uses class level challenges to track students' performance.  Teachers can use it as a fun way to help students improve their skills and knowledge.   LearnStorm  tracks the entire class’s performance and presents it in a fun visual that shows how each individual student is contributing to the overall class performance in a particular area. Students are not identified in the visual; and their progress is only recorded on the LearnStorm tracker once they have passed the mastery proficiency level. Class progress is presented in rings, and for each ring to be completed, it requires that the number of assignments completed is three times the number of students in class. This motivates learners to master content and encourages them to work together to achieve class goals. Students can also use LearnStorm to track their own individual performance.
