Abstract
Systems, software, and computer implemented methods associated with a smart monitoring system used to monitor, manage, and modify the usage of various applications and/or websites on a mobile or other computing device are described herein. In one example method, user interactions performed at a client device are monitored, and a determination is made as to whether the monitored user interactions are associated with non-educational content or applications. In response to determining that they are, an activity timer is increased based on ongoing interactions with the non-educational content or application. In response to a determination that a current value of the activity timer exceeds a predetermined threshold value, an interruption process is triggered on the client device causing at least one educational activity to be performed by the user of the client device. Before allowing interaction with the non-educational content or application, the educational activities must be satisfactorily completed.
