Summer is rolling in, and we want to remind you that your students' 2020-2021 data will be archived on July 31st. We archive student data each year to make room for a new year of student data.

After data is archived, you can still access your students’ prior progress history, placement test results, lesson scores, and session times. Game time and badges also stick around! However, the specific problems done will be cleared out.  You'll find a handy “Prior Year” section in many of your Moby reports, like in the “Detailed History” in your Progress tab.


If your students are in summer school, year-round schools or homeschool, or are simply working in Moby in July, their data will not be archived, so they can continue working uninterrupted.

If you’d like to keep specific records like contest results or messages from this year, now is the time to save them as PDFs or print them out.

We hope you stay safe and healthy and enjoy some well-deserved summer sunshine. We look forward to seeing you next school year!

Formulating high quality questions for useful quizzes or exit tickets takes time and can still miss the mark—unless you’re using MobyMax! Our Quick Test tool enables you to create custom tests within minutes by providing hundreds of thousands of pre-made problems covering all K-8. Whether you're crafting a quiz, exam, or exit ticket, use Quick Test to prepare the assessment you need in no time at all.

This two-minute how-to video shows just how easy it is. Start by accessing Moby’s entire K-8 curriculum. Find lessons sorted by subject and grade level. Choose the lessons you want, making the test as long or as short as you wish. Then, select the students you want to take the test. The test will show up in the students’ assignments tab on the day you designate. After the students complete the test, analyze the results using the Snapshot and Gradebook tabs in your teacher account. That’s all there is to it.

Teachers who use Quick Test have left comments on the video that will give you some insight into why the tool is so effective. What are they saying?

“I love that I am able to quickly differentiate tests for students and really focus on what standards they are struggling with.”

“The ability to actually make an assignment and assign it to individual students and analyze the scores right there is amazing.”

Assessing a classroom for mastery of a standard can seem impossible – unless you’re using MobyMax. Moby’s Quick Skill and Quick Benchmarker tools help you easily assess your students on individual state standards or all state standards in their grade level.

It takes only minutes to learn how to use these tools, thanks to Moby’s short how-to videos.

The Quick Skill video shows you how to set up an assessment and analyze student data when the test is complete. Teachers who are watching it on our YouTube Channel love it! Here’s what they’ve had to say:

“This is a great way to get ready for the State Assessments, and to fill in the gaps! Way to go, MobyMax!”

“I love how I can assign different tasks for each child. Easy to differentiate! Plus, I can view the "snap shot" or the "detailed" outline for each assignment.”

While “Moby University” provides free live webinars every day, we understand that sometimes it is easier to watch at another time. That’s why we’ve compiled a library of 1-hour recorded webinars that you can access at your convenience.

Some of the most popular webinars include “Getting Started in Moby” and “Exploring Interactive Class and Student Motivation Features.” Other webinars explain how to customize lessons, how to use Moby during virtual learning, how to conduct assessments, and how Moby can be used for special education.

Whether attending live or at another time, teachers love the webinars. Said one, “Thank you for showing me so many more ways to use Moby! Long time user...since it was Moby Math!”

“I love the webinars and I am learning how to use more components of the program with my special needs students. Not only does this program address the learning gaps, but helps with the IEP goals!” added another.

“Thank you for hosting these! I find out something every time!” exclaimed a third.

"MobyMax makes creating assignments for students easy! In this video, we show you how to follow three simple steps to create assignments using Moby Learning, Quick Checker, and Interactive Class.

Here’s some of the feedback we received about this video on our YouTube Channel:

“I love that there are engaging and valuable ready-made lessons. This makes planning easier and gives me peace of mind that my students are learning. I also like that I am able to make individualized lessons for those students that are below or above grade level.” ~ Janice B.

“I love how you can make the assignments fit perfectly by adding, deleting or rearranging them to fit the needs of your students. Great program!!” ~ Jennifer C

“I love being able to watch in real-time what my students are doing from a remote location." ~ D.B.

Here’s the short video showing you how!

Many teachers are finding that creating and assigning daily lessons for remote learning takes hours and hours. MobyMax can help by automatically assigning personalized lessons for every student in your class.

We’ve created a short video showing you how!

When the pandemic forced most schools to abandon in-class learning, most teachers quickly learned how to use Zoom and other technologies to keep their students engaged. Still, many teachers faced a real challenge that prevented them from delivering the quality they knew their students needed: they didn’t know how to record lessons that students could watch later.

MobyMax came to the rescue with an easy way to record lessons in a snap. Teachers can search from hundreds of existing lessons or create their own. Next, they utilize MobyMax’s Whiteboard Activities Module to create live lessons, which are recorded. With many students unable to attend some Zoom sessions, technology glitches, or just needing to re-watch a lesson, Moby makes it easy for teachers to record and send!
