These are the rules every integrated learning app must follow. They protect outcome integrity across the ecosystem.
  1. Teach toward verifiable outcomes. In-app success must predict performance on credible external assessments.
  2. Enforce mastery gates at ≥90% accuracy. Do not advance students based on time, completion, or self-report.
  3. Award XP only for verified learning. No XP for passive activity until learning is verified through retrieval. No XP below 80% accuracy.
  4. Design for cognitive load limits. Keep granularity tight, reduce noise, avoid bundling multiple new skills in one lesson.
  5. Make misconceptions hard to form. Use clear examples, non-examples, and fast error correction.
  6. Build in retrieval practice and spaced review. Practice must require recall, not just recognition.
  7. Prevent gaming. Treat incentives as adversarial. Make the target cognitive process unavoidable.
  8. Emit learning events and keep outcomes transparent. Results are surfaced to students, families, and operators. Apps cannot hide poor performance.
Apps that award credit without verified learning, allow progression without mastery, or fail to emit the required learning signals will not be eligible for integration.
