Share Student Usage and Insights using Community

This article is for IT Support at schools using Linewize Community.

Student usage insights and timeline sharing allows parents and guardians to gain visibility into their child’s school-managed device activity. Schools can choose to share student activity data during school time, outside of school time, or 24/7. School time is defined by your School Manager Calendar.

Parents and guardians can use Qustodio to view a dashboard and timeline for their children.

  • The Dashboard displays daily and weekly summary data of Top Apps/Sites and Top Categories.
  • The Timeline presents their child's activity chronologically based on your school's settings.

A parent or guardian’s Qustodio dashboard view will depend on your configuration and which activity you have selected to share. Parents and guardians will see an activity summary which can be aggregated by present day, 7 days, 15 days, 30 days or a select date.

If set up, parents and guardians will also be able to see timelines for school and outside school hours activity. They will be able to filter this activity by videos, websites & apps, searches, and blocked activity.
