11. This will take you to the install page for the Web Helper. Click the "+ FREE" button to being
the install.
12. When given the "Confirm new extension" dialog, click "Add".
13. When the install is complete you should see a window pop up that says "Insight Web Helper
has been added to Chrome".
14. Congratulations, your Insight Student for Chrome is now installed. You should now proceed
with the software configuration.
Software configuration
The Insight Student for Chrome needs to be configured to communicate with a Insight Connection
service before it will appear on the Teacher console. To perform this configuration step, you will
need to know the IP address or network name and the connection port of the Connection service.
Typically the port will be 8080, but if your network admin has configured it differently you will
need to know.
1. To configure the Student, click the student icon to bring up the menu and click on the
"Preferences" option in the menu.
2. When the preferences window opens, you will be able to configure the following:
•
Device ID - This is coded into the app and will be unique for each installation. This cannot be
changed.
•
Device Name - This is the name of the device on which this software has been installed. This is
how the device is identified on the Teacher's console. This can be configured for each
installation and can be changed by the teacher.
•
Student Name - this is the name of the student as it appears on the Teachers console.
•
*Connection service host - This is required and must be set to the network address of the
connection service.
•
*Connection service port - This is required and must be set to the port that has been configured
on the connection service host.
3. Once you have completed the configuration, click the "Save" button to save your changes.
(Please keep in mind that if you ever un-install the Student software, all settings will be lost
and must be re-entered if you re-install the software later.
4. Once your settings have saved, the Student software should begin communicating with the
Connection Service. If you have a Teacher Console already configured to use the Connection
Service then the Student should appear within a minute or two. If it does not appear within a
minute or two, try refreshing the teachers display. (Note: you can refresh the teachers console
by pressing <F5> )
