What it is about
We want students to be able to take a test securely on the device their school uses. For iPad and Windows we have our own app for this. Chromebooks are the next step, and there the road is still open. You find out which approach works and show that it can be done.
Why now
This is an assignment with a beginning and an end: first research, then build, then try it out in a real classroom. You set a large part of the direction yourself, and what you deliver becomes the basis for how we will support Chromebooks.
What you will do
- Research which route works best: a kiosk mode, a managed Chrome app or extension via Google Admin, or the Chrome OS test mode
- Compare the options on what matters to schools: security, management, ease of use for the teacher
- Build a first working version of the approach that comes out best
- Try out that version together with a school and improve it based on what you see there
What you learn, and what you deliver
We set your learning goals together with you and your school or university. Every programme has its own requirements, and we think it matters more that the goals match what you want to learn than that they are already listed on this page. It is one of the first things we discuss in the interview.
End product
You leave with something finished that you can show: work that is live, or research we can build on afterwards. What exactly that will be, we decide together once we know what you want to get good at.
