Timelines offers teachers another way to ensure that all their students are quite literally on the same page.

With a glance, you can ensure that students have the correct website open. This is especially handy when giving a quiz and making sure students don’t hunt around the web for answers.

Timelines displays browsing information for ChromeOS, Android and iOS devices. To learn more about what information is displayed per OS please scroll down to the bottom of this guide.

With the Activity Timeline, you can also scroll back through the timeline to see what sites students spent time on during class.

The Live Activity Timeline will be accessible during all classes. Let's take a look at the various features and functions.

The bars change colour to match the active sites and applications. Your active students are represented on the left-hand side, as soon as they start browsing online or using Chrome applications; the activity timeline will start displaying their information.
