Notice that one ofthe main reasons of the high variability is due to the Easter Week (spring break), denoted by (A)on the graph, and summer break, (B) on the graph. This behavior was surprising because in mostLatin American countries the academic year runs from January to December, and there are only afew weeks of break during the summer. This shows that some of our users comes fromSpanish-speaking people residing in countries outside of Latin America.In order to segment our population depending upon country of residency, we also collected thecountry and city from which users were accessing our website.
