Practical articles and updates for schools on lost learning time, student movement, privacy, and analytics.
CCTV may help schools investigate vandalism, vaping and safety incidents, but cameras near toilets create significant privacy and governance concerns. LeaveLens offers a less intrusive way to identify repeated classroom exits, extended absences and lost learning time without filming students.
Teacher Snapshot gives staff a concise, classroom-level view of how student exits are affecting their lessons, their students and their wider teaching context.
Our latest update to the LeaveLens experience shows a real-time class of students with a counter of how many times they have been out of classes today, and a timer of how long they have left for.
