A teacher of a school that allows it shares one maquette or one article. Pupils open it with no account, and Foxar+ opens for them on the school’s licence. A « Whole school » link opens the school’s home instead of one maquette, and an optional first name keeps the quiz results.
To set it up
- In the app, open the maquette or article, then Share, then Link for pupils (the entry appears only if the school allows it).
- Choose the end (tonight, 7 days, end of the school year, a date), the display (without navigation by default) and the places (40 at once by default).
- For a maquette, Open the 3D model automatically (off by default) lands the pupil in the maquette, on the chosen section, instead of its page.
- Show the QR code full screen, or copy the address app.foxar.org/d/<code>.
- For the whole school: Account, My links, Link for the school’s pupils, then pick the school. The end offered is the end of the school year, « Free navigation » is on, and « First name for quizzes » is on too when the school allows it.
- Results (in My links, or for a manager in the board): a table per pupil, filter by maquette, CSV export, deleting a pupil.
To use it
- Scan the QR code or type the address: no sign-in.
- The maquette opens, with a pill « Link from <School> · until … ».
- With the whole-school link, the school’s home opens, with the « School » entry of the menu.
- At the end of the first quiz, « Keep this result? » asks for a first name or nickname (« Keep the results » or « Not now »). Once named, the next quizzes are kept without a question; with no name, nothing leaves the browser.
- If the link no longer stands, a message says it no longer opens the maquette.
- Account
- No account. Pupils: no account. The teacher: signed in, a member of the school.
- What it opens
- Opens the shared maquette (or the maquettes of the shared article) if it is the school’s non-restricted content or the public catalogue. The whole-school link (scope school) opens the school’s home, with no starting target, with the « School » entry of the menu. 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 ». The whole-school link also needs the switch « Link for the whole school » (pupilLinksSchoolWide).
- Who uses it
- The pupils, with no account.
- Who pays
- The school, through its pupils pool.
- Seats and limits
- 40 places at once by default (or active devices), adjustable. Each link is checked again at every opening. It runs on the school’s « Pupil roll » pool, which must hold a live key. The whole-school link also needs the switch « Link for the whole school », checked again at every opening: switched off, the link opens nothing. « First name for quizzes » needs the switch of the same name (pupilQuizNamesEnabled), off by default; each device gets a random pupil token kept in its browser, with no account, no IP address and no user agent.
- Expiry
- Chosen by the teacher: tonight, 7 days, end of the school year or a date. The school can set a maximum duration. The whole-school link defaults to « The end of the school year ».
- How it is stopped
- The teacher revokes in My links. Managers see teachers’ links in the board, revoke or delete them. When the teacher leaves the school, their pupil links stop opening (the board marks them « Author left »). A Foxar admin can switch the school’s option off. Named results are seen by the link’s author and by the school’s managers. They are erased 30 days after the link ends (expiry, revocation or a switch turned off), at once if the link is deleted, and at once when the pupil chooses « Stop keeping » or a teacher or manager deletes the pupil.
- Where it is set up
- App: Share menu, Link for pupils; Account, My links, Link for the school’s pupils (Edit: the automatic opening; Results) / Board: Admin: organization, Links for pupils (the two switches). Managers: the list of links, tag Whole school, Results
