FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I schedule a class to start automatically?

In NetRef I used to restrict students to a set number of tabs. How can I do this in Classwize?
Focus Mode is a similar feature to limiting tabs to students. The only difference is that you will need to specify which sites the student can navigate through, those will open up in separate tabs, and the student will be unable to open up different sites on other tabs as well as navigating outside of those sites.
Most of my class shows up, but this one student's tile just says "waiting for activity." How do I troubleshoot this?
First, have the student remove the profile from the login screen on their Chromebook and then sign back in. This ensures the latest extension and configuration is loaded. If that doesn't work,
If it still doesn't work, have the student click on the Classwize extension in Chrome and submit a support ticket with the details. It should look something like this:
Further troubleshooting can be done using this help guide.
When a student has multiple windows open on their chromebook, does Classwize record both?
Yes, all Chrome windows (and any additional desktops) will be recorded, they will appear as tabs in the student's tile in Classwize
Do teachers have to start classes or have them scheduled in order for the student reports to be available?
Yes, the reports will only record activity while the student is in an active class.
Do reports only show time on/screens for that specific teacher's class or for everyone?
Screenshot history will show the activity for the students during your active class time. Student Journey will show all activity in the time period selected.
If classes are prescheduled, and we have a delayed start, how do we turn off that schedule?
You would need to go into the class settings and delete or modify the scheduled time BEFORE the class starts.
Do students have a visual indicator on their screen that let's them know when you're monitoring them?
If they click on their Linewize Connect extension, it will show them if they are in an active class. However, there isn't a popup or any other on-screen indicator to tell them when they are being monitored.
When are students monitored in Classwize?
Our hours set to 7AM - 4 PM, they will be monitored during those school hours when in an active class session.
