Hi, Would anyone happen to know if Securus supports detction of key phrases or words in languages other than English? If not, which competitors do this? thanks

I'm going through this exact dilemma here. BYOD became compulsory for older students. We require certificates for students and of course many of them either get a new laptop, borrow one from a sibling/parent/friend, or a particular device or antivirus may not like the certificate or some sort parental control feature makes it difficult to install or a parent is the device’s admin and child does not know the password. I would say this sort of issue accounts for 90% of students not being able to navigate to the internet. On top of that, sometimes we have genuine slowness due to all the filtering rules and ssl inspection. User perception (students) is of course that the school internet is slow and the WiFi does not work. And this is the perfect excuse for students to claim that they “need to use their hotspot to do their classwork”. I am therefore seriously considering removing the need for certificates, at least for the older ones, 16+. Students authenticate using their AD credentials. If there is no certificate, they can’ go out to the internet, only navigate the Intranet page. The SSID they use is separate from the one used with school-owned devices so they cannot access file server for instance. Our Fortigate will continue to have all the category filtering which blocks social media, games and the no-go sites. Given we will still have web filtering, how risky would it be to remove the need for certificates?

Thank for all the replies. In the end FTP was the solution, partly. Each device had to download the videos, one at a time. What I was hoping for was some kind of deployment tool similar to what one does with apps using Mosyle and the like. With such a tool I could send the video simltaneously to all devices, with one click.

We have to load videos,some 2-3GB on to some 40 iPads. The videos need to be easily accessible on the devices, as they will be taken to a location with littlle or no internet. Our iPads are managed through Mosyle wich we of course use to deploy apps. I could not find a way to send videos to the iPads using Mosyle or ASM and would like to avoid Google Drive or equivalent, because I do not want children to need to log in to a google account or use an appl I. Besides, internet will be very patchyor non exisitng. ansfering them to each ipad via usb is lenghty and I would like to avoid this. Any ideas?

We opened up Drive sharing outside our domain a few years ago, the pressing need at the time was to share documents needed for workshops & training for a number of staff. Up until then nobody could share documents outside domain and this was before GDPR. One argument which was convincing was something along the lines of "someone could easily share a document by attaching it to an email so sensitive information would be lost anyway". The key point I think, is to make staff aware of the implications and their responsibility. Re GAT we are begging to look into it as it seems much easier to audit what is shared with whom and also has useful tools like Google Classroom audit.

Hello, Not sure if this is sorted, but I´d like to contribute in any case. 1. using Win 10 2. saved as .pptx 3. added folder to Trusted Locations and ticked the box where it said 'include subfolders' 4. after closing the presentation and opening it again, all animations worked fine.

Hi, I just got the same question from one of our coordinators. I am inclined to say yes, get all students to change their passwords too. Any thoughts? It would be great if there is a way to bulk update user passwords

In a scenario where we have Chromebooks and teachers use resources with Java or Flash, what can be done? Preventing upgrades to version 45 is only a temporary measue obvously,

We are looking into sharing GDrive outside our domain - currently Docs, Sheets and anything eles stored on GDrive can only be shared amongst users within our domain. The thing is Google control panel does not allow one to set diferent permissions for diferent groups or users, it is either everybody or nobody, which of course we do not want. I found a solution called Flash Panel which allows this level of control and auditing and much more. Has anyone had any expeience with this?
