Do you need the attention of your class? Lock students’ browsers for any number of minutes. Or lock them in COOL Exam mode, so they can only open websites that are permitted by the teacher. Students can concentrate better and are more involved in the lesson.
Involve students by opening or closing websites in their browsers from your own device. Or share students’ screens to your interactive display in front of the class. Let students work independently, without losing control of your classroom.
Send specific educational material to students who can use a little more explanation. Or to a group of students who have already completed the assignment. Perform an action to a certain group of students in just 1 click.
As a teacher you can view the browser history of your students from your previous monitoring sessions. Up to 7 days ago. An admin can see how long and when a teacher used ‘monitoring’. In this way everything is transparent.
Monitoring is a module of the COOL Platform. An online learning platform that gives teachers and students access to all relevant applications by 1 login. Explore the other COOL modules: Picture login, Exam mode, and Plagiarism check. Try all modules 60 days for free.

It definitely is! A student can see a ‘Monitor icon’ when a teacher is monitoring her/his browser screen. When the student hovers over this icon the student is able to see which teacher is monitoring. The following statement is visible: “Teacher name is monitoring”. Another condition to be GDPR compliant is that the module is only being used for education purposes. The main goal of COOL is to help students focus on their schoolwork.
No, monitoring is only available when a student is working at school. Our monitoring module is connected to the schools’ IP address. It is also impossible to monitor students when teachers are working from home.
Yes, you can. You need to create a G Suite account, which we’ll synchronize with your Microsoft account. In this way, the entire school can log in with their own Microsoft account.
You need to be a G Suite domain administrator to install COOL. Fill in the form on this page to download COOL. Next you’ll go to the G Suite Marketplace and see a wizard that explains how to install COOL. You need to choose which teachers and students you want to transfer from Google Classroom to COOL. Later on, you can easily add or remove teachers and students in G Suite.
