SiteKiosk worked great for me in building a full-function, web-managed, html/xml/js content-driven kiosk.
You could also consider something like ZoneAlarm to lock down that computer's access if you are not too worried about hiding the OS and what's under the hood. / / / / / / / / / / / / / Patrick Fisher P 612-375-5811 M 405-219-5719 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2015 2:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: mcn-l Digest, Vol 123, Issue 21 Send mcn-l mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of mcn-l digest..."

We are looking for one approximately 50". We'd also need to lock-down the "website". For iPads I do this with a combination of KioskPro and Guided Access. But these are Apple apps. Is there equivalent software for large touch monitors? Does this list have any brand suggestions and/or specification suggestions such as: LED/LCD, output/input must-haves, what to avoid, what must be included? >From scanning the MCN archives I only really saw mention of Elo monitors. Any other current recommendations?

In his talk (and maybe he'll chime in here?) he shared this toolkit he built for locking it down so people don't just surf the web/ the device doesn't auto populate information, etc: https://github.com/scimusmn/stele I've forked it for myself, but because interactives aren't specifically part of my job, I haven't had a chance to dig in to it really deeply...yet...but it might be useful for you?
