LearnPlatform for Students

LearnPlatform for Students provides school administrators an easy way to measure student engagement with EdTech products.

LearnPlatform for Students: Monitor & Streamline EdTech Usage

LearnPlatform for Students is a Chrome extension devised for school administrators to organize, streamline and analyze the use of EdTech products. This extension activates whenever the user visits a site within its product library, collecting general usage info like school-provided user ID, time of day, and website domain. The data collected aids in monitoring and analyzing the most and least used learning tools, helping in forming budget, instruction, and district policy. However, it doesn't identify any specific student but helps in improving how technology supports teaching and learning.

    1 star because it has nothing and the extension cannot be clicked. Also, the extension looks like a false extension (description or something) or a joke to some people as it doesn't work and the extension can't be clicked (as mentioned before). This company needs to be sued (requires permission first if you are under 18) or just email them about this extension about the concern about this (if possible). If you were thinking you can't remove it, it is because it is managed by your IT. Always remember. If you can't uninstall a extension, it means that it is managed by your IT

    THIS THING SUCKS! YOU CANT DO A SINGLE THING AND YOU CANT REMOVE IT!!

    The extension is used to aggregate usage data from school devices using their proprietary "EdTech" technology. It does not identify users. It is akin to surveillance, however it can be used for good things and bad things, such as both budgeting and monitoring students. However, it does use up 25% of CPU to activate the extension to give information and up to 50% when loading a new site. It also does not provide much information to the student, besides an ambiguous logo and a letter grade. It has no information in the extension aside from that. I do not believe there is use for such an extension
