Retiring Devices
In an effort to accomodate a variety of needs, priorities, and timetables for evolving technology, we have outlined the following Retirement Transition Policy:
- As a general rule, Wireless Generation will strive to notify customers six (6) months prior to the retirement date for a retiring device model. A notice will appear on our web site, and we will communicate via email.

At the end of this nine-month period, Wireless Generation will cease to provide technical and customer support for our software on retired devices.
- Wireless Generation is under no obligation to provide or upgrade devices to maintain compatibility and usability with software.
- Software, updates, patches, and other applicable product components remain protected under copyright law, patent law and the End User License Agreement (EULA) included with the product, even after Wireless Generation retires the handheld devices on which they are installed.

Overview | How It Works | Supported Browsers
Overview
We use a browser-based technology called HTML5 to simplify and improve data sync, data security, and IT support for mCLASS assessments.
It also provides a better classroom experience by allowing educators to administer assessments without being connected to the internet for more flexibility.
How It Works
- mCLASS assessments using HTML5 do not require installation or purchase from the iTunes® Store.
- Accounts are set up and managed through a secure connection to mclasshome.com. Assessments are automatically downloaded when teachers connect to the Internet and login via mobile devices.
- An Internet connection is not necessary to conduct assessments in the classroom.
- Data is stored locally in the browser until high-speed Internet or Wi-Fi connecitivity is available. Once connected, teachers can save data to our servers in the cloud.
- There is no need to run a separate syncing application or connect to a syncing station.
Supported Browsers
As new versions of web browsers begin to support off-line data storage in the same way, we will update the supported browsers list below.
- Google Chrome™ 9.0 or higher
- Safari 5.0 or higher
