How to start and end a monitoring session?

Dyknow's monitoring feature enables Dyknow teachers to monitor the devices of students assigned to their class. Each student device can be monitored in one class at a time by all teachers assigned to that class, and an unlimited number of teachers can be assigned to a class.

This document is a resource for Dyknow teachers to understand how to:

• Start a Monitoring Session
• Join an Active Monitoring Session
• Leave an Active Monitoring Session
• End a Monitoring Session
