Select a Class to view the Class Preferences. Class Preferences can be configured using the following available options.
Hide apps not listed on Study Apps
Toggle on the option to immediately hide or block all applications installed on student devices that are not listed in the Study Apps list after clicking “Start Class”. On iOS and iPadOS devices, apps not selected in Study Apps will be hidden. On macOS devices, apps not selected in Study Apps will be unable to launch.
Apply my Study Sites
Toggle on the option to immediately block websites that are not specified in the Study Sites list after clicking “Start Class”. Study Sites utilizes a global proxy to only allow the sites listed. Since devices can only have one global proxy profile installed at a time, any other global proxy configured in the Web Filter management profile will be removed to install the configuration for Study Sites. When the class is over, the global proxy configured in the Web Filter management profile will be reinstalled.
Enable Bluetooth
Toggle on the option to immediately enable Bluetooth on devices after clicking "Start Class". While enforced, students will be unable to pair new devices. On macOS devices, Bluetooth will be turned on.
Class Duration
Set the duration of your class to ensure student devices are automatically released from any restrictions at the end of your class in the event you get busy or forget. Use the slider tool to set the duration of your class (in minutes). If necessary, you can increase the duration of your class by clicking “+10 min”, or end the class before the expected time by clicking “End Class”.
Start Class
Select the Absent Students
Check the box next to each student you wish you mark absent in the area labeled “Select The Absent Students”. After starting the class, management rules from Class Manager will only be applied to the devices of present students. If a student shows up after taking attendance, click “Manage” in the top right corner of the Class area to adjust the absent students.
Reminder: Class Manager commands are delivered over the network and do not require students to be within proximity of the teacher device. Therefore if a student is not present in class, their device will still be affected by commands if they are not marked "Absent".
Click Start class to apply any configured preferences. Students will be notified the class has begun. When your class has concluded, you can end the class by clicking "End Class" or use the toggle to turn the class "Off".
The following may only be necessary if a student is using a temporary/loaned device:
If starting a class where students are not assigned 1:1 to devices, teachers will be prompted to select a "Shared Device Group" to be used. Only Shared Device Groups in the same location as the teacher/class will be available.
After selecting the Shared Device Group, teachers can choose to automatically assign students to devices or allow students to self-assign by choosing their name/photo from the class roster data.
- Auto Assignment: Mosyle will randomly pair 1 student per 1 device enrolled in the selected Shared Device Group. Students will be able to identify which device they have been assigned to by viewing the lock screen where their name and photo (if uploaded) will be displayed. Teachers will be able to view which device each student is assigned within the Class Manager app as the device name will be displayed directly under each student’s name.
- Roster: Mosyle will display all students' names and photos (if uploaded) on the lockscreen of each device enrolled in the Shared Device Group. From this view, each student can select their name or photo to login and complete the assignment of the shared devices.
