Assure's integration with the Canvas Learning Management System allows teachers to create firewall rule overrides within the Canvas application.
A rule override can allow or deny a specific web page, web categories, or web applications for a class, a student or several specific students. Each rule can be permanent, temporary, or scheduled for a specific class.
This is useful when teachers need to enable students to access permitted websites or applications needed for lessons but have for one reason or another been blocked by the school's firewall.

Teachers can track a student's online activities in the Classroom View tab.
Teachers can see real-time activity for the last 15 minutes of the students enrolled in their class and refresh the view for up-to-date activity when desired.
Each student's name is hyperlinked to access their User Report if needed, and only Web Categories that have ratings below Average are shown. Web Categories are also colour coded based on a student’s activity; red (poor), orange (fair), green (good).
