DAC App vs Blocksi Teacher

The Digital Audio Capture (DAC) app is a free app developed by College Board and ETS to use for recording students’ audio responses for the AP Music Theory Exam and AP French, German, Italian, and Spanish Language and Culture Exams. This app has been developed to simplify the recording process for students and proctors, utilizing current technology that is intuitive to most students. It streamlines post-exam tasks for school staff by directly uploading student audio files after recording. School staff will follow the instructions in the 2025-26 AP Exam Instructions book to administer an exam using the DAC app. NOTE: The DAC app is limited for use on school-owned and -controlled iPad tablets (iOS 15.0 and above). Schools must update to the 2026 version of the DAC app; previous versions of the app will not work in 2026.

The Blocksi Teacher Mobile App extends the Blocksi Teacher Dashboard to mobile, giving teachers real-time classroom monitoring, activity insights, and control tools. Teachers can view student screens and live browsing activity in real time. From the app, teachers can open or close tabs and add websites to allow or block lists. Teachers can also share or enforce class-related content on student devices, use Heads Up to focus attention, and run assessments with browser lock during testing. The Blocksi Teacher app also supports attendance tracking, student grouping, class activity timelines, and exportable activity logs (CSV). Teachers can access analytics for web activity, search queries, and YouTube usage, as well as manage filters and policies. Additional tools include the Plagiarism Checker, Website Rating tool, and Quiz Generator, helping teachers support instruction alongside classroom management.
