Class Material allows you to set up and prepare all the great content, allow applications, and configure your website restrictions for your class.
Let's take a look at your class material options.
Content
The first step is to define the content you want to share during your classes; this content will be accessible on the student's devices.
You can add the following types of content to enhance the interactiveness of your classes:
- Website URLs
- Web Clip (iOS only)
- Media (images, videos, and URLs)
- Youtube Videos
- Vimeo Videos
Adding Media
If you intend to use approved media content, these files will need to be uploaded by your school's IT administrator.
Add Web Clip (iOS only)
- Web Clips are a great way to allow your students to gain quick and easy access to websites you might want to access continually.
- Select Web Clip, and click Add the icon to add an image that you would like to display on the homepage.
- Add a Label, add a valid Website URL, and toggle the Removable setting to prevent the students from removing the Web Clip.
- Click Save.
Applications
The Application Management section has two sections:
- Allowed Applications
- Class Apps (Only if configured by Admins)
- Allowed Applications allows you to define what applications your students can make use of during a class. Only the apps listed will be allowed when this class is active. In this case, the applications are most likely on the student's devices.
- Class Apps are apps configured by your school admin before your class sessions. These applications are normally defined as apps permitted for students to use during their classes. These can be set as automatically installed or self-installed for the students.
Web Filter
Web Filter configurations are set up as part of your class restrictions to define what students can browse online. Once configured it is assigned to a set of students/devices so you can prohibit a user from accessing explicit content on those device/s. Web filter settings include: managing online content via category selection, channels, and videos to blocklist or allowlist.
