🖥️ Add a WebView
With WebViews, your learners can access external resources without leaving the Student application. Here’s how to easily add a WebView:
WebView Title: Provide a clear title for your WebView. This title will appear in the app to indicate to students which site or app it is.
The link: Add the URL link of your site, web app, intranet, or any other external resource. This link can point to any platform you wish to integrate.
Once this information is provided, your WebView will be added to the app transparently and accessibly for your students. 🤗
Note: If the site or application already has an icon (e.g., a favicon), it will be automatically retrieved and displayed to reinforce the visual identity and platform recognition by the students.
👁️🗨️ Preview in the Student app
Before finalizing the creation of your WebView, you have a dynamic preview. This allows you to see exactly how the WebView will look in the Student app, giving you the chance to make adjustments before publishing it.
The preview ensures that the display will be optimal for users and allows you to verify that the integration is seamless.
👀 Audience Visibility
Once the WebView is created, you can customize its visibility level based on the audience you wish to target. The available options are:
Authenticated Users: Only students logged in with their credentials will have access to the WebView.
All users (Premium): The WebView will be accessible to all users, whether they are authenticated or not. This option is ideal if you want to make a resource accessible to a wide audience.
Non-identified Users (Premium): In a white-label application, you can make the WebView visible to users who haven't yet created an account or authenticated. This allows for public access to certain resources.
Note: If you select the Authenticated Users option, you have the option to filter the audience by a specific group. This allows you to target specific user segments, such as groups of students from a certain cohort or a specific department. 😉
🌍 Use Case: Why Use WebViews?
WebViews offer a practical solution to centralize access to essential tools and resources without multiplying the apps on students' devices. For example:
Direct access to course platforms or discussion forums without leaving the application.
Consultation of administrative documents, exam schedules, or institution information directly from the app.
Connection to collaboration tools or partner applications used as part of your training.
The possibilities are numerous, and WebViews facilitate the integration of all these tools in a single, coherent space.

A: You can set the visibility of your WebView based on authenticated users, non-identified users, or a public audience. Moreover, you can filter this audience by user groups for even more precise customization.Q: What happens if the site integrated into a WebView requires authentication?
A: If the site you add to your WebView requires authentication (e.g., a username and password), the session will be maintained in the application as long as it is valid. This means users won’t have to re-login every time they access the WebView as long as their session remains active on the integrated site. If the session expires, they will need to re-authenticate through the WebView to continue using the site.
