Access all the apps you need with just 1 password – whether you’re a student, teacher, or school staff. Sign in once with your Google or Office 365 account and you are automatically logged in to COOL. Super convenient! COOL is accessible from any Chrome device and is free to use!
With COOL Monitoring you can view browser activity and student progress in real time by monitoring the screen of one, several or all students from your own device. Actively involve students in class work by opening or closing websites in their browsers. Send specific educational material to students who need a little more explanation. Or to a group of students who have already completed the assignment.
Need your class’s attention? Lock students’ browsers for any number of minutes. Or lock them in COOL Exam mode so that students can only access apps and websites selected by the teacher. As a teacher you can view students’ browser history from your previous monitoring sessions. Up to 7 days back. An admin can see how long and when a teacher used Monitoring. This way, everything is transparent.
Detect plagiarism by comparing submitted schoolwork to billions of websites in 1 click. Get insight into plagiarism sources and check the percentage of plagiarism per class or student. With the COOL Plagiarism check you can scan the same document up to 3 times. Deliver feedback based on the scanned results and give your students the possibility to improve the quality of their work.
Once you work with Google Workspace apps, it’s likely that students write assignments in Google Docs and submit them to Google Classroom. Unlike most other plagiarism checking tools, the COOL Plagiarism check is fully integrated into Docs and connected with Classroom. As a teacher, you’ll see the percentage of plagiarism per student in 1 overview.
