What ClassView is
ClassView is classroom activity management software for schools, teachers, students, and educational organizations using managed Chromebook environments. During active sessions started by authorized educators, it shows student screens, active tabs, URLs, and page titles in real time. Teachers can lock screens, unlock selected students or everyone, apply custom website allow and block lists, and send announcements to student screens. Students join with a code, while attendance is tracked automatically. ClassView detects VPN and proxy extensions, developer-tools access, and other bypass attempts. Schools can force-install its extension through Google Admin Console. Access is listed for web, Chrome extension, API, and self-hosted deployments. Basic costs $2 a year, billed $2/student/year for up to 500 students. Professional costs $3 a year, billed $3/student/year, with unlimited students and additional reporting, API, SSO, and priority support. Enterprise uses custom pricing and lists on-premise deployment, integrations, an SLA, training, and dedicated support.
