Put a model on the board or a screen

A link for the classroom's interactive board, or any screen, that opens Foxar+ on the school's licence. Nobody signs in.

A link for a board or a screen puts Foxar+ on the classroom’s interactive board, or on any other screen, on the school’s licence. Nobody signs in on the board.

It is made by a teacher who is a member of a school where Foxar switched on Links for pupils: the same switch covers both links.

  1. Open the model or the article, press Share, then For a board or a screen. With no model, open My account, My links, then Link for a board or a screen, and pick the school: that link opens the school’s home, meaning the school’s content that is not restricted, and the public catalogue.

  2. Choose how long it lasts, exactly as for a pupil link: tonight, 7 days, the end of the school year or a date. The school may set a maximum length, and the link never goes beyond it.

  3. Keep or change the settings. Free navigation is on by default, so Foxar’s menus stay visible on the board. Two places are held by default, and they can be changed behind Edit.

  4. Choose whether the model opens by itself. Open the 3D model automatically is on by default: the board lands in the model, on the section picked under Start with (the first one of the page by default). A link with no model, or to an article, does not have it.

  5. The last screen shows the address in very large type, with a QR code and a Copy the link button. Type the address in the board’s browser, or scan the QR code. The address starts with app.foxar.org/d/ today, and with foxar.org/d/ after the switch at the end of October.

Changing or stopping it

To change later where a link opens, press Edit next to it in My account, My links. The address stays the same, and a board already open follows the change on its next load.

A board or screen link belongs to the school, not to the teacher. If the teacher leaves the school, the link keeps working. A pupil link does not: it stops opening. The teacher can revoke a link at any time from My account, My links, and the school’s managers can revoke it too.

The school's own boards

A school that holds rooms can also link all its classroom boards at once, by building for instance, with no link to make per lesson. That is set up by a manager, see Immersive room.

Link for a board or a screen
  • Free
  • Foxar+ (On what the door names)

A teacher of a school that allows it makes a link for the classroom’s interactive board or for any screen. Foxar+ opens with no account on the school’s licence, as with a pupil link, but the link belongs to the school and outlives its author.

To set it up

  1. In the app, open the maquette or article, then Share, then For a board or a screen. With no maquette: Account, My links, Link for a board or a screen, then pick the school.
  2. Choose the end as for a pupil link. « Free navigation » is on by default, and 2 places, adjustable behind Edit.
  3. For a maquette, Open the 3D model automatically is on by default: the board lands in the maquette, on the section picked under Start with (the page’s first by default). Changed later in My links, Edit, with the same address.
  4. The final screen shows the address in very large type (app.foxar.org/d/<code>, then foxar.org/d/<code> after the end-of-October switch), the QR code and Copy the link.

To use it

  1. Type the address in the board’s or screen’s browser, or scan the QR code.
  2. The maquette opens, or the school’s home, with Foxar’s menus. With the automatic opening, the maquette starts by itself on the chosen section, on every load of the address.
  3. If the link no longer stands (end, revocation, option switched off, pool without a live key), Foxar+ closes again.
Account
No account. The board or screen: no account. The teacher: signed in, a member of the school, only to make the link.
What it opens
With a maquette or an article: opens that maquette (or the article’s). With none: opens the school’s home, meaning its non-restricted content and the public catalogue. Never restricted content, never another school’s content. No licence seat is reserved.
Who creates it
A teacher who is a member of a school where a Foxar admin switched on « Links for pupils ».
Who uses it
Anyone in front of the board or screen, with no account.
Who pays
The school, through its « Pupil roll » pool.
Seats and limits
2 places (devices mode) by default, adjustable. Foxar’s menus stay visible (« Free navigation »). Each opening checks the link again.
Expiry
Chosen as for a pupil link: tonight, 7 days, end of the school year or a date. The school’s maximum duration applies too.
How it is stopped
The teacher revokes in My links. The link keeps working when its author leaves the school: managers see it in the board with « Board or screen » and « Author left », and may revoke it. A Foxar admin can switch the school’s option off.
Where it is set up
App: Share menu, For a board or a screen; Account, My links, Link for a board or a screen (no maquette) / Board: Managers: the list of links, tag Board or screen
