Student WebControl
WebControl Extension
- When students attempt to access a website, the extension will check the website URL against lists of \"allowed\" and \"blocked\" keywords.
- Lists of \"allowed\" and \"blocked\" keywords are hosted at:
\t- http://web-control/webcontrol.txt
\t- Entries listed under \"match-and-allow\" list will ignore the \"block\" list.
\t- Entries listed under \"match-and-block\" list will redirect or close the tab if query URL contains a match.
- If the URL contains blocked keyword, it will attempt to redirect student to \"redirect URL\": http://web-control/index.html
- If the \"redirect URL\" is unreachable, it will close the tab instead.
Example:
# Comment lines start with \"#\" character
# The following lists will redirect any tab with a URL containing \".game\" or \"movies\",
# but will allow \"allowed.movies.game\" website.
match-and-allow
allowed.movies.game
match-and-block
.game
