Improved Review Schedule

We made an important change to HomeSchoolAdvantage this morning. We improved the review schedule for when to quiz a student on a fact.

We found that as facts moved into higher mastery levels students were forgetting them too frequently. So, we added more reviews into our review schedule and we adjusted the spacing between reviews.

We added more boxes to the Rate A Fact widget to reflect the additional reviews in the new schedule. We also changed the popup microhelp strings for the Rate A Fact widget.

Hopefully, students will not notice the change at all. They will simply find it easier to learn new facts over time.
