Insights

How many students can I invite to participate in any session/s I would like to assess?

It depends on the Insights account you have: from 5 (basic account) to 40 students (premium account).

Is there a limit to the sessions I can share and assess with the students?

No, you can share with a registered student account (that you invited) as many sessions as you would like.

Can I incorporate Insights into the school's general system/ assessment?

Insights is used individually by the teachers and for the specific needs of their materials and sessions rather than on a school system level.

Can I invite others to view my students' performance?

Yes, you are able to invite other guardians to view the performance of your students and share the data with them.

What can I do if I detect one of the students' low performance and would like to offer additional help using Insights?

You can always access an individual student’s account (that you invited to Insights) and offer this particular student additional sessions or materials to follow.

What happens if the computer goes offline while using Insights?

As long as you are connected to the internet at the beginning of the session to allow your computer to connect to your Insights sessions, you can continue working offline.

Safe Environment

How does Ji Tap protect my kids from surfing the internet / privacy?

There is a parental gate for the following features: Internet search, sharing with a friend, and App sharing.

Can kids communicate with each other on the app?

No, they cannot chat. But they can follow other users and ‘like’ other users’ creations.

How old should kids be before they use Ji Tap?

To play games, anyone aged 2-99!
To create games and use advanced features, the child would need reading skills. We recommend from age 6 upwards, but it depends on the developmental level of the child.
