Question 2

The extension is gone? I no longer see the Myndr icon.

Accepted Answer

Sometimes the Chrome browser suddenly turns on the “Extensions Toolbar”, which hides extensions. You will then see a puzzle-piece icon. If you click on it, the list of extensions appears with pins next to them. Click the pin next to the Myndr icon so that it turns blue.

Question 3

What about the teacher's privacy?

Accepted Answer

The Myndr Switch only affects the account it has been set up for, and only on the laptop where that account is signed in. Myndr has no access to - or influence on - any network traffic whatsoever. The privacy of all other people who use the school network is not affected by Myndr in any way.

Question 4

Does the extension also work in incognito windows?

Accepted Answer

|| The setting below is required for Myndr to work properly! No. On a Chromebook or a Windows laptop, it isn't possible to centrally enable an extension by default in incognito or InPrivate windows. That can only be done on the computer itself. (And it can be switched off again there too.)

What is possible is to centrally disable the option to open incognito windows.

|| 1. You can do this in the Google Admin console under Devices > Chrome > Settings > Incognito mode at organisational unit level. So for example for all students or for certain classes. 2. Select the organisational unit you want and set the Incognito mode setting to Disallow incognito mode. 3. Click SAVE in the top right. Incognito windows can no longer be opened now. || For Windows computers, you'll find a step-by-step guide to making these settings here.

Question 5

Setting the Network administrator(s)

Accepted Answer

|| Please note! You can only set the Network administrator if you are registered with Basispoort as an IT administrator! After activating Myndr in Basispoort and the (overnight) synchronisation that follows, it is important to set your Network administrator in the Myndr dashboard.

1. Go to the Organisation details

In the Myndr dashboard, click the cog in the top right and then Organisation details

2. Select Network administrator(s)

Under School details, click the small arrow after Network administrators and tick the one(s) where your students sign in.

The change is saved immediately and takes effect straight away.

|| If you use several Network administrators, students will have to make a choice the first time they use the Myndr extension.
