FAQ
How does the partnership between FileWave and TRUCE Family help schools manage phone use more effectively?
Together, FileWave and TRUCE Family help schools create a balanced approach to mobile phone use. Instead of banning devices, TRUCE Family uses context-aware technology to limit distractions when learning is in focus, while FileWave provides the secure management framework behind it. This combination keeps students safe, connected, and focused without disrupting classroom routines.
How is TRUCE different from traditional phone bans or blocking apps?
TRUCE Family takes a balanced approach by combining school and parent control instead of enforcing a total ban. Its contextual technology adjusts access based on where students are and what they are doing, helping them stay focused in class while remaining reachable when needed. This creates a safer, more respectful way to manage phones that supports learning and communication at the same time.
Can TRUCE protect student privacy while still allowing schools to retain control?
Yes. TRUCE Family limits student access to distracting apps during designated times and places, and prevents viewing of personal photos, messages, browsing history, or passwords. Schools gain the control they need to support focused learning, while student and family privacy remain fully respected.
How does TRUCE help improve focus and reduce distractions during class?
It automatically limits access to distracting apps when students are in class or on campus, allowing teachers to focus on teaching rather than managing phones. This system keeps essential communication open while removing interruptions, helping students stay engaged and classrooms run smoothly.
Can TRUCE adapt to different situations, such as classrooms, hallways, or after-school activities?
Yes. TRUCE uses location and time-aware policies to adjust device access based on where a student is and what they are doing. By automatically applying rules for classrooms, hallways, or after-school activities, it keeps students focused when they need to be and connected when it matters most.
What role does FileWave play in managing and supporting TRUCE in schools?
FileWave acts as the secure foundation for the TRUCE Family solution by deploying and managing the TRUCE app across student devices and enforcing the contextual policies set by schools and parents. IT administrators use the FileWave console to install TRUCE, monitor its status, and push updates or changes remotely while TRUCE handles the location- and time-based rules. This partnership lets schools and families work together to promote focused learning without sacrificing device safety or privacy.
How easy is it to set up and manage TRUCE across an entire school or district?
Setting up TRUCE with FileWave is straightforward and built to scale. IT can deploy the TRUCE app to student devices from the FileWave console and apply consistent settings across classrooms, grades, or districts. When schools want precise zone control, small Bluetooth beacons can be added to define areas like classrooms or hallways, and policies can then be adjusted automatically based on time and location.
