Linewize determines student activity as school or home based on network context and school hours. This approach ensures that activity is accurately associated with a student’s physical location while maintaining consistent behavior during defined school hours.
Understand School vs. Home Activity
Linewize determines whether an activity is school or home based on the connection.
- School Activity: Activity is categorized as school if the device meets any of the following criteria:
- The device is connected to a Cloud Safe Network .
- The device is connected to an On-Linewize Filter Network (behind a Linewize Filter Appliance).
- The activity occurs during scheduled school hours.
Note
If School Calendar is not set, all activities are categorized as School.
- Home Activity: Activity is categorized as home only if the device satisfies all of the following conditions simultaneously:
- The device is not connected to a Cloud Safe Network.
- The device is not connected to an On-Linewize Filter Network (outside a Linewize Filter Appliance).
- The activity occurs outside of scheduled school hours.
