Welcome to Hāpara Highlights Follow
For: Teachers and administrators
Start here
- Teachers need an assigned class. Students need registered school accounts and the managed Highlights extension.
- Administrators should configure monitoring hours and approved privacy options before rollout.
A practical workflow
- Before teachers begin, an administrator confirms the Highlights extension, monitoring schedule and privacy settings for the school.
- Sign in at app.hapara.com, choose a class and select Highlights.
- Use Class View to move between current screens and open browser tabs, or select Overview for a class-level summary.
- Use Announce and Share links when learners need a message or resource.
- Use Guide browsing for a Focus or Filter session, and Pause Screens when the whole class needs immediate attention.
- Use Snaps or Record only when a saved example or time-limited browsing history supports a clear educational purpose.
See the workflow
Use the numbered callouts in each image to match what you see on screen.
What this helps you do
Class View provides live visibility; Announce and Share links provide immediate support; Guide browsing, Freeze tabs and Pause Screens provide increasing levels of structure; Snaps and Record save selected evidence when enabled.
Common questions
- If a class is missing, contact the school Hāpara administrator rather than creating a duplicate roster.
- If a feature is absent, it may be disabled, unavailable to the account or outside the configured monitoring conditions.
Recommended approach
- Begin with visibility and communication tools before applying browsing restrictions.
- Tell learners what teachers can see, when monitoring is active and why the school uses Highlights.
- Administrators manage privacy-sensitive controls in the new Hāpara Admin Console at app.hapara.com/admin.
