BrightKite
Administration

Set it up once. It handles the rest.

BrightKite syncs with Google Workspace automatically. Teachers, students, and groups stay current.

Google Workspace sync

Teachers, students, classes, and groups sync automatically. No CSV imports.

Domain-wide delegation

Documents lock at the domain level. Students can't unlock their own docs or remove protections.

Policy controls

Set school-wide defaults for paste policies and annotation packs. Teachers customize within your bounds.

Activity reporting

Usage stats, adoption rates, writing activity per class and department.

Common IT questions

Where does student data live?

Document content stays in Google Drive. Writing process data is stored encrypted in BrightKite's infrastructure.

What access does BrightKite need?

Google Workspace domain-wide delegation for document management and directory sync only.

Can students circumvent it?

The document lock is enforced at the Google domain level, not via browser extension.

How long does setup take?

About 15 minutes in Google Admin Console.
