To improve the security of Chromebooks, we have developed two different options to lock the device. You can choose either one, but it is important to note that both require a Chrome Upgrade license to be used.
- Alternative A - Kiosk App
- Alternative B - Trelson Assessment Proctor
Alternative A - Kiosk App
Device management
Log in to the “Administrator console” for your Google Workspace for Education domain and choose Devices > Chrome > Apps & Extensions and then Kiosks
Choose organization
In the menu to the left, decide which organization you want to install the app to.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the application is installed on the Chromebooks tied to the organization, not on the user accounts in the organization.
Manage apps
Click "add” and select"Add from Chrome Web Store".
Search for the app "Trelson Assessment for Chrome Devices" in the search box at the top right and click "Choose”.
Chrome Web Store
Grant app permissions to the organization if prompted.
Set the app and extension policy in the menu on the right and then select save.
Now your students are ready to use the Kiosk application
Alternative B - Trelson Assessment Proctor
Through the Trelson Assessment Proctor add-on, we can control most of ChromeOS, but some settings will need to be made in your domain to guarantee security with Trelson Assessment Proctor.
Device management
Sign in i ”The admin console” for your workspace domain and then go to “Device management”
- Policy: Multiple sign-in access
Set this to Block multiple sign-in access for users in this organization - Policy: Developer tools
Set this to Never allow use of built-in developer tool - Policy: Incognito mode (Optional)*
Set this to Never allow incognito
* (Optional) Using Trelson Assessment Proctor with Incognito mode enabled
If you want students to have access to Incognito mode on their Chromebooks, check the box in your Trelson Organization
When the student starts their exam, they will be greeted by the words HELP instead of opening the exam.
When they click on HELP, they get a dialog box with a link that they have to click on.
The students are then sent to the settings for the add-on where they must activate incognito.
Now the student has made the setting and Trelson Assessment Proctor is also active in incognito mode.
- Policy: Androidappar
- Unlike normal web apps in Chrome, we cannot control Android apps - If there are apps that students can use to cheat, they need to be turned off.
