Some Classwize features for teachers are not currently available at every school. The features available at your school depend on:
- How your school has configured Classwize
- What types of devices your students use
- If the Linewize Connect app (or Connect Chrome extension) has been installed on your students’ devices
This article outlines which Classwize features are available to teachers when:
- Students are On-Network during School Hours
- Students are Off-Network during School Hours
Definitions
| On-Network | - | The device is connected to your school’s network and internet connection. |
| Off-Network | - | The device is connected to the internet through a network that isn’t run by your school. For example, the student may be at home or using their phone’s mobile data service home wi-fi to access the internet. |
| During School hours | - | The period of the day when students are normally at school. |
| No Connect for Education App | - | Linewize Connect is software that your school may use on your students’ devices to enable advanced Classwize features. Some features are only available when Connect is installed on a student’s Chrome device, while others are available even if the device doesn’t have Connect on it at all. |
