Recommended Usage
Vendor has not supplied this information

As a whole-curriculum resource this would be dependent upon the specific tool and objective. For example, if using the multiplication tool, using it once a day for 5 minutes, learners and teachers would start to see impact within a couple of weeks. But if using one of the creative animation tools the level of usage would be different.
