Keep laptops on task so they support learning instead of distracting from it
Focus Mode gives instructors a simple way to cut out distractions from online shopping, group chats, and social media without banning laptops entirely
One click away from a more engaged classroom
Focus Mode helps manage laptop distractions without changing how you teach. Students join through the desktop app, and when it's turned on, their internet access is restricted
Turn on Focus Mode with a single click
Enable Focus Mode at any point during class with one click. It instantly creates a more focused environment without interrupting your teaching
Students’ internet access is automatically restricted
Students logged into the Dialogix desktop app will have their internet access temporarily restricted while Focus Mode is active. You can toggle it on or off at any time, and normal access is restored when students exit the app

Why instructors use Focus Mode to manage distractions
Laptops are valuable tools in the classroom, but they often distract students from learning. Focus Mode gives you a practical way to reduce distraction while keeping flexibility in your teaching
Students get distracted by online shopping, group chats, and social media during class
Focus Mode temporarily restricts internet access so laptops stop competing for students’ attention
Banning laptops removes a useful learning tool but leaving them unrestricted makes it harder to keep students engaged
Focus Mode is the middle ground. Turn it on for a more focused classroom and turn it off when students need normal access again
Managing device distractions can require constant policing and interruptions during class
Focus Mode works with a single click, letting you shift the classroom into a focused environment instantly without disrupting your flow
It is difficult to know whether students are actually following classroom device expectations
Dialogix shows how long students stayed in Focus Mode and how often they exited, giving you clear visibility into who is complying
