How to Turn Off Immersive Reader and Language Translator Tools

By default, both tools are enabled for all students. While they can be powerful aids, there are a few situations where turning them off might be necessary.

1. To ensure students work independently. For tasks or assessments where students need to demonstrate their own understanding, these tools may be disabled.
2. To prevent over-reliance. Students may sometimes rely too heavily on these tools, which could impact their progress, especially when you're evaluating their reading or language comprehension.
3. To manage distractions. In some cases, students might use these features in ways that could disrupt their focus or distract others in the classroom.

Before you begin:

Identify the specific student(s) who require these changes.

Step 1: Search for the Student:

1. Navigate to the Universal Search Bar at the top right of your screen. 
2. Type the name of the student for whom you want to disable the Immersive Reader or Language Translator tools, and click the appropriate search result.
3. This will bring you to the student's profile page.

Step 2: Locate Tool Settings

1. From the student's profile page, locate the Settings area. Here, you will see toggle switches for various features, including:
   • Immersive Reader
   • Language Translator

Step 3: Toggle Tools to "Off"

1. Click the toggle switch to move it to the "Off" position for the specific tool you wish to disable.
2. The changes are saved automatically. The student will no longer see these tools the next time they launch a Penda activity. 

Note: If you need to disable these tools for multiple students, simply repeat this process for each individual student profile.
