In the increasingly digitised world we live in, our kids spend more time on the screen than anywhere else. Everything, from their social interactions to entertainment and education, occurs on smart devices and computers. With this level of digitisation comes a new set of challenges such as cyber threats, inappropriate content and addiction-forming indulgences in apps and games. Luckily, you can still have control over what content they are exposed to on the internet and how much screen time they are allowed through parental control software. Continue reading for all you need to know about how they work and which ones are the best.

How Does Parental Control Software Work for Parents?

Parental control softwares are designed to give you control over your child’s activity on a computer or smart device. With the software, you can look into your child’s browsing activity, call logs, messages, emails and even sites they are trying to access in real-time. You will be able to filter or flock content they shouldn’t be exposed to or manage how much time they spend on specific apps or sites. If you are using a free parental control software pc, you would have fewer features and control over a paid one.

Best Free Parental Control Software

Here are our top parental control software that are great for children of all ages:

Qustodio

Qustodio is the go-to software if you have teenagers at home who are always on social media as the software’s best feature is social media protection. It also enables you to control the screen time of specific apps and locking apps when you need to. The software keeps you updated on the activity on all the devices that it is installed on. While the trial version is good, what’s great about it is that you only need to pay for precisely the feature you need.

Platform

Windows/Android/macOS/iOS.

Features

• Excellent for social media protection.
• Very easy to use.
• Good support for mobile devices.

Limitations

• You need to pay to unlock the best features. Although you get what you pay for, and the price is good compared to other paid software. But for what you get compared to other software it is totally worth the money.

About Moodle

Moodle is a learning platform designed to provide educators, administrators and learners with a single robust, secure and integrated system to create personalised learning environments. You can download the software onto your own web server or ask one of our knowledgeable Moodle Partners to assist you.

Moodle is built by the Moodle project which is led and coordinated by Moodle HQ, which is financially supported by a network of over 80 Moodle Partner service companies worldwide.

Built for learning, globally

Proven and trusted worldwide

Powering tens of thousands of learning environments globally, Moodle is trusted by institutions and organisations large and small, including Shell, London School of Economics, State University of New York, Microsoft and the Open University. Moodle’s worldwide numbers of more than 90 million users across both academic and enterprise level usage makes it the world’s most widely used learning platform.

Designed to support both teaching and learning

With over 10 years of development guided by social constructionist pedagogy, Moodle delivers a powerful set of learner-centric tools and collaborative learning environments that empower both teaching and learning.

Easy to use

A simple interface, drag-and-drop features, and well-documented resources along with ongoing usability improvements make Moodle easy to learn and use.

Free with no licensing fees

Moodle is provided freely as Open Source software, under the GNU General Public License. Anyone can adapt, extend or modify Moodle for both commercial and non-commercial projects without any licensing fees and benefit from the cost-efficiencies, flexibility and other advantages of using Moodle.

Always up-to-date

The Moodle project’s open-source approach means that Moodle is continually being reviewed and improved on to suit the current and evolving needs of its users.

Moodle in your language

Moodle’s multilingual capabilities ensure there are no linguistic limitations to learning online. The Moodle community has begun translating Moodle into more than 120 languages (and counting) so users can easily localise their Moodle site, along with plenty of resources, support and community discussions available in various languages.

All-in-one learning platform

Moodle provides the most flexible tool-set to support both blended learning and 100% online courses. Configure Moodle by enabling or disabling core features, and easily integrate everything needed for a course using its complete range of built-in features, including external collaborative tools such as forums, wikis, chats and blogs.

Highly flexible and fully customisable

Because it is open-source, Moodle can be customised in any way and tailored to individual needs. Its modular set up and interoperable design allows developers to create plugins and integrate external applications to achieve specific functionalities. Extend what Moodle does by using freely available plugins and add-ons - the possibilities are endless!

Scalable to any size

From a few students to millions of users, Moodle can be scaled to support the needs of both small classes and large organisations. Because of its flexibility and scalability, Moodle has been adapted for use across education, business, non-profit, government, and community contexts.

Robust, secure and private

Committed to safeguarding data security and user privacy, security controls are constantly being updated and implemented in Moodle development processes and software to protect against unauthorised access, data loss and misuse. Moodle can be easily deployed on a private secure cloud or server for complete control.

Use any time, anywhere, on any device

Moodle is web-based and so can be accessed from anywhere in the world. With a default mobile-compatible interface and cross-browser compatibility, content on the Moodle platform is easily accessible and consistent across different web browsers and devices.

Extensive resources available

Access extensive Moodle documentation and user forums in multiple languages, free content and courses shared by Moodle users across the world, as well as hundreds of plugins contributed by a large global community.

Backed by a strong community

The Moodle project is well-supported by an active international community, a team of dedicated full-time developers and a network of certified Moodle Partners. Driven by open collaboration and great community support, the project continues to achieve rapid bug fixes and improvements, with major new releases every six months.
