Immersive room

The wall of a school's room, its browser windows, and the classroom boards linked by group.

In an immersive room, the wall and its browser windows read the school’s content.

The right to use rooms is taken out by the school from Foxar. The school's managers then set up the room in the board, under Rooms and screens.

The wall

At rest, the wall shows the school’s site, with its restricted content.
A teacher takes the hand from a phone: the wall then reads as that teacher.
A wall does not carry guests in a shared session. A session can be broadcast in a room from the host’s app.

The wall's browser windows

A window of the wall starts signed out. It is unlocked by the room link, or by a QR code approved on the phone of a manager or of a teacher of the room.
The room link lasts until it is revoked in the board. A QR unlock lasts 2 hours, 8 hours or until the window closes, as the room is set.

Classroom boards

A school's interactive boards can be sorted in groups, one per building for instance. Each group has a link to put in the boards' software, and the boards then open the school's content, its restricted content included, with no account.

In the board, open Rooms and screens, Classroom screens, and create the group's link.
Copy the link into the software of the group's boards.
Or, on a board, open app.foxar.org/w and type the temporary code shown in the board, or on the phone of a teacher who may take the hand (account menu, Link a board). A code lasts 15 minutes.

A board linked by a code keeps the link for 400 days, renewed at each opening. To cut a group's boards, revoke its link in the board.

To use it

At rest, the wall shows the school’s site.
A teacher takes the hand from their phone: the wall then reads as them.

Account: No account. The wall is a device, not a person.
What it opens: Foxar+ for the wall alone, and its school’s restricted content, read as a member would. While a teacher has the hand, the wall reads as that teacher. A wall carries no guests.
Who creates it: A manager holding the right to run rooms pairs the screens. The school must hold the right to use rooms, sold by Foxar.
Who uses it: People in the room; the teacher who takes the hand.
Who pays: The school, through its room contract.
Seats and limits: The wall only. A 20-minute room token, renewed while the screen stands.

How it is stopped: Unpair the screen in the board; stopped screens or an ended room contract stop the token at the next request.
Where it is set up: Board: Room, Paired screens / Wall: The room’s wall / App: Phone: take the hand

Wall browser windows

To set it up

In the board, open the room, Wall windows: copy the room link, or show its QR code.
Or leave phone unlock on, with its duration.

To use it

Open the room link in the window: it is unlocked.
Or, in the window, choose Unlock with a phone, scan the QR and approve on the phone.

Account: No account. No account, no sign-in, nothing recorded.
What it opens: An unlocked window behaves like the wall’s rest site: Foxar+ for the window and the school’s restricted content. A « <School> · <Room> » pill replaces Sign in.

Who uses it: Windows opened on the wall.
Who pays: The school, through its room contract.
Seats and limits: One live room link per room. No network restriction.

Classroom screens: group link and temporary code

Free
Foxar+
Restricted

A school’s interactive boards, sorted in groups (one per building, for example). Each group has a link app.foxar.org/w/<secret> to put in the boards’ software. On a board, a temporary 6-character code typed at app.foxar.org/w links it without copying that link.

To set it up

In the board, Rooms and screens, Classroom screens: create the group’s link, then Copy the link, QR code or Temporary code.
A teacher who may take the hand shows the same code from their phone: the board’s account menu, Link a board.

To use it

Put the link in the software of the group’s boards.
Or, on the board, open app.foxar.org/w and type the code: the board lands on the arrival chosen for the group.
On a board that wipes its data, Copy this group’s address in the banner, then paste it into the board’s software.

Account: No account. No account on the board, nothing recorded under a name.
What it opens: A linked board behaves like a wall window: Foxar+ and the school’s restricted content, on its room contract. A « Classroom screens · <School> » pill replaces Sign in. The code opens exactly what the link opens, nothing more.
Who creates it: Link: a room manager, in the board. Temporary code: a manager, or a teacher who may take the hand on these screens (never only as « anyone signed in »).
Who uses it: Anyone in front of the board, with no account.
Who pays: The school, through its room contract.
Seats and limits: One live link per group, with no seats and no device counted. One live code per group, for as many boards as wanted while it lasts. After 5 wrong codes in a minute from one network, a minute’s wait.
Expiry: Link: until revoked. Code: 15 minutes. A board linked by a code keeps the link for 400 days, renewed at each opening.
How it is stopped: In the board, Revoke and create a new link, or Revoke: the group’s boards lose access. Revoke this code stops it without cutting the boards already linked.
Where it is set up: Board: Rooms and screens, Classroom screens / Board: Teacher: account menu, Link a board / Web: Board: app.foxar.org/w
