How to restrict student in-class web browsing activity with Sanako Study 1200
- In the Group pane, from the Activity dropdown selector, choose web browsing.
- if your students
- do an open-ended web quest, choose radio button: open policy to be able to provide a list of non-allowable websites (e.g. YouTube.com may be useful for your students’ online research activity, but Facebook.com not)
- take a well-defined and –confined assessment like an online quiz, choose radio button: strict policy to be able to provide the list of allowable websites
- either way, put just the site address (e.g. http://www.dict.cc), without the protocol (NOT: http://www.dict.cc), or else…
- the web browsing activity,
- prevents any other browser from being opened by the student but IE
- begins with opening for the student the table of contents page in IE, listing the allowable websites; whenever the students closes the IE, Sanako reopens it on the table of contents page .
- each web activity of your student will be verified against your allow list:
- Note that
- there are some caveats, errors&glitches.
- the Respondus Lockdown browser (see screencast at min 18:00) installed in the LRC also can also be used to prevent students from accessing non-web-based programs on the computer they are working on; but can not be restricted to a number of web pages, nor can students receive a Table of Contents of the web pages they are allowed to go to .
