Task Analysis: Registering Students On MobyMax

MobyMax finds and fixes learning gaps with the power of personalized learning.
MobyMax's adaptive curriculum creates an individualized education plan for each
student. This program promotes gifted students as quickly as needed and provides
necessary remediation for students to get the extra instruction they need. With
this task analysis, I will describe each step using a procedural approach. Faculty
members will use each step as a guide to effectively register each student in your
class on the web tool Moby Max.

Here is my home screen.

screen up, you will double-
click the Google Chrome
icon.

4 Once Google opens, type

www.mobymax.com in
search bar at the top of
the screen.

Go to www.mobymax.com.

5 Click “Have a License.” First, do you already have

an account with Moby
Max? If you do, please be
patient with me as I
explain the necessary
steps in creating an
account for those that do
not.
If you do not have an
account, look at the top
right corner for the link,
“Have a License” and click
it.

6 Enter Information. Once the page loads,

scroll down to the blue
Jana Jordan Task Analysis and Instructional Screencast Script

information box. Enter

school, and school email.
The school zip code is

the drop down box. Click
the purple button that
reads, “Register Free.”

7 Sign-In. Now, you are ready to sign

in to Moby Max.
Enter your school email
and password that you
registered with.

8 Register Students. Once you are signed in you

will need to click the
purple button that reads,
“Register Your Students.”

student information chart
to register students
individually or an entire
class at a time. In order to
entire an entire class, you
can click the blue
highlighted link that
Jana Jordan Task Analysis and Instructional Screencast Script

reads, “copy and paste.”

You can copy and paste
student information from
a spreadsheet.
However, I am going to
show you how to register
students individually. This
will be a great resource as
you get new students
throughout the school
year.

10 Enter Student Names. On the student

information chart, look at
the first two columns with
the heading “First Name”
and “Last Name.” Type the
student’s first name
manually or copy and paste
to add students from a
spreadsheet.

11 Enter Student Grade Level. Now you are ready to

enter the student grade
levels. The grade level is

used as a starting point

for all subjects without
placement tests. If in
doubt, place students in
lower grade level so that
they will be able to
complete tasks without
extreme difficulty.

12 Change Passwords to Match Student ID. Usernames and passwords

will be automatically
created when you enter a
student’s First Name.
Change passwords from
the preassigned to the
student lunch number
which is also the Student
ID. Notice now my
students username and
password matches his
student ID. This makes
logging in stress free for
students because all grade
levels K-5 know their lunch
number at this point in the
year.

13 Continuing Adding Students to Class List. Here you would just

continue to add students
individually or import them
if that is easier, until your
class is complete.
