What students see

Depending on your student’s device or browser:

• Chromebook devices
  The message appears at the top of the active Chrome window and stays visible until the student closes it or switches tabs. Multiple messages display in the order sent.
• Other devices and browsers, including Companion Mode
  The message appears as a pop-up in the centre of the student's screen and remains until the student selects OK.
