Share / Enforce and Assessment Features Explained

Share / Enforce and Assessment Mode all serve very different functions in Blocksi! "Share" gives students an extra website that you're sharing with them. "Enforce" takes away all of a student's tabs until you end "Enforce" at which point all of a student's previously used tabs and windows will appear. "Assessment Mode" locks student into an assessment or to a specific list of blocked and approved websites. The main difference between the Share / Enforce mode and Assessment mode is that with Share / Enforce mode, you are pushing out a single URL which means that other links within that page may not be accessible. Using assessment mode, you can push out an entire domain which allows the student to access a login page (if redirected and required), click on all links, tabs, content, videos, etc. within that site only.

Blocksi is new to our district this year, but check back here for new features and updates as they become available!

Blocksi provides several features to educators wanting to increase Mastery and Inclusivity.

The Teacher Dashboard allows teachers to monitor students’ Chromebooks and Windows-OS screens in real time. It gives teachers visibility of the student's browsing activity and control over the content they can access. It is a central hub where the teacher can see the class’s online activity. The teacher can also open class-related content directly on the students' Chromebooks. The Teacher Dashboard is an efficient tool that helps to keep students on task.

This dashboard also has the following features:

• Block and Allow lists per class session.

• Lock down browsers during assessments.

• Share screens and chat live with students.

• Save PDF activity reports with measurable results by student, class, time, blocked/allowed content, and the number of URL visits.

• Check for AI-generated plagiarism.
