IT can also control and secure the Chrome environment, ensuring that students remain safe while online and on track without distractions. The controls are particularly helpful when seasonal standardized testing comes around. IT teams can remotely configure the Chromebooks to automatically launch the testing application. The application gives students a controlled and consistent, secure testing environment that prevents them from wandering off, cheating or attempting to circumvent the test.

These can be automatically set up and delivered to a Chrome browser session, instantly providing students with needed resources and websites.
