Classroom

The Allow SSO feature should automatically allow the ClassLink IDP URL without having to separately whitelist them in the Classroom rules. idp.classlink.com What's the point of the feature if it doesn't not actually allow the SSO to function?

My district recently started using Classroom for Chromebooks and I had a feature request. Can you please make a way to increase the time for screen lock? I use this occasionally but it's pretty limited since it only locks screens for 5 minutes with no way to adjust the time to be longer. It's kind of clunky to want to talk to the class for 10 or 15 minutes but have to keep coming back to the program to start the screen lock again. Also the students jump right back on their screens when the timer runs out and then it really interrupts the lesson flow to keep having to start the lock and get the students focused again. Please add this feature, it seems like this would be a standard basic feature but it's not available.

We are trying to get all of our teachers to use Lightspeed classroom. It would be very useful for us to have a report that would give us usage information on how many and which teachers are actually using it.

It would be great to have a feature where we could put the students in test mode and they would not be able to open any additional tabs to search for answers while taking an online test or completing an in class essay. That would be easier than blocking all sites or allowing certain sites.

Please allow the ability to create bell schedules at any OU instead of just top level OUs. Another option would be to allow overlapping bell schedules so the teacher can choose the appropriate one for the class. It would also allow the ability to create delay schedules so teachers can easier change the schedule if needed.

Can you develop a way where schools that are on a 4 day cycle can set up a bell schedule based on those days instead of Monday - Friday?

When a teacher logs into their classroom they are allowed to select their class from the drop down menu. When they select the class it will the display the class name. Since our classes are split up by Grade and term the full class name does not appear because it is more that four words which may cause some confusion. Can we please display the full class name at the top the page to make it easier to identify. There is empty space at the top of the page that can be used to display the name.

You can send link to All Students, Default Group, or individual groups that you created. This appears when you click on "Send Link" in Class Controls. It would be helpful to have the same options for "Screen Lock" and "Share Screen" under class controls.

Please provide the ability to download the Classroom Browsing History to a csv file for the same periods of time that the LS Filter Web Activity Log reports provide (today, yesterday, 7 days, 30 days, custom date range). The Classroom Browsing History provides MUCH easier log entries for non-technical school personnel to analyze and interpret than the Filter Web Activity Log report (which is very useful for our LS Admin and IT folks to analyze and interpret). Staff members like our Dean of Students and certain teachers would really like to analyze (off hours) the Classroom Browsing History for the past month or at least past week to see what all is going on during their classes. The LS Filter Web Activity Log Reports are not easy for them to analyze and understand compared to the Classroom Browsing History log.

When our cover staff take a lesson they do not have access to Google classrooms and have to add pupils to the class on lightspeed manually, it would be great if you could add multiple pupils emails at the same time if you put them on separate lines as they could download the CSV from Google groups and add them all quickly.
