Q: What can Senso see on a student’s device?

It depends on what the school buys and switches on. Class Cloud shows teachers live screens and open tabs. Safeguard Cloud records keystrokes that match keyword libraries together with a screenshot, and logs websites. Senso describes these tools for devices the school owns.

About Senso

Senso.cloud is software for school devices from Renato Software Limited of Nottingham. Teachers use Class Cloud to see and control student screens, IT teams manage devices with Network Cloud, and safeguarding leads get alerts from Safeguard Cloud and a web filter. Staff log in at app.senso.cloud for Portal V2 or at portal.senso.cloud for Portal V1. Senso publishes prices in pounds per device a year: £3.00 for Class Cloud, £4.50 for Safeguard Cloud and £6.50 for the full Enterprise Cloud bundle. Senso says 10,000 schools worldwide use it.

Senso.cloud runs in the Microsoft Azure cloud and works with Windows, ChromeOS, macOS and iOS devices that a school owns. Class Cloud gives a teacher live thumbnails of every screen, remote control, screen lock, website and app blocking, chat and quick polls. Network Cloud adds device management for IT teams. Safeguard Cloud records keystrokes that match keyword libraries together with a screenshot and emails staff about urgent violations. The content filter blocks sites by category and uses the Internet Watch Foundation and Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit lists.
