Safari

Not supported. Safari extensions need a separate build, which we haven't made; use Chrome or Firefox on your Mac instead. Browsers like Orion that can run Chrome and Firefox extensions might work, but we don't test them.

Once it's installed

  1. Click the Docta icon and choose Sign in to Docta. A window from docta.dk opens; log in with the link in your email and approve the extension.
  2. Click Sign in to itslearning in the extension. A tab with your school's usual itslearning sign-in opens; sign in as you normally do. The tab closes by itself once the extension has your sign-in.
  3. Choose the courses to include and press Start sync. Nothing syncs before you've done that. The first time takes longest; you can keep using the browser.
  4. Connect your AI so you can ask questions. Guide

These are the extension's own popup with example data; the course names are made up.

When does it sync?

When the browser starts, every 30 minutes, when you open itslearning (at most every 10 minutes), and when you press Sync now. Only while the browser is open. In the extension's settings you can pick 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes, turn automatic sync off, and change which courses are included; unticked courses are removed from your library. If you use two browsers on one account, they sync one at a time.

What can it access?

Only pages on itslearning.com, itslearning.net and docta.dk. It reads what you can already see and doesn't hand in, post or change anything. One account belongs to one itslearning user. A sync uses your itslearning sign-in in the browser, so the browser is signed in to itslearning or stays signed in (see the privacy policy). If you turn on Keep itslearning signed out after a sync in the settings, the extension asks for cookie access and afterwards removes the itslearning cookies the sync set; cookies that were there before are left alone.

Why does it say "Read your browsing history"?

When you install the extension, Chrome (and Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Arc) shows the warning Read your browsing history. Firefox words it a little differently, for example Access browser activity during navigation. The warning comes from one permission, webNavigation, and it's used only for your itslearning sign-in.

  • Why: after you sign in, your school's itslearning (for example SDU) hands the sign-in code back with a JavaScript redirect in the tab, not an ordinary server redirect. An extension can only see that kind of redirect with webNavigation. Without it, the extension would never learn that you've signed in.
  • What it doesn't do: the extension doesn't read your history or keep a record of where you've been. The browser tells it when a tab changes page; the extension ignores everything except itslearning's sign-in redirect, and none of it is stored or sent anywhere.

Get the newest version

The browser updates the extension from the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons by itself, but not immediately when a new version comes out. Normally you don't have to do anything. If the extension says Update needed, you can get the new version right away:

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Arc

  1. Type chrome://extensions in the address bar (in Edge edge://extensions, in Brave brave://extensions, in Opera opera://extensions, in Vivaldi vivaldi://extensions).
  2. Turn on Developer mode (top right; in Edge in the menu on the left).
  3. Click Update. Every extension is fetched in its newest version. You can turn developer mode off again afterwards.

Firefox

  1. Type about:addons in the address bar.
  2. Click the gear icon at the top and choose Check for Updates.
  3. Firefox installs the new version. If it asks for new permissions, click Add.

If it still says Update needed, restart the browser. If that doesn't help, the new version may not have reached the store yet; try again later, or write to us.
