Good afternoon,

I work with classroom teachers to develop science curriculum and a few of the labs we use involve the use of ImageJ. Many teachers have been receiving 1:1 Chromebooks  for their students and computer labs are being phased out. ImageJ is not compatible with the Chromebook OS, without some rather extensive work-arounds that involve installing Linux, or virtual desktops. Many school districts have tight restrictions on what can be downloaded to their computers and are unable to use these workarounds.

Has anyone had success using ImageJ on a chromebook in a relatively simple manner? Is there any possibility of producing a compatible version of the software? Does anyone know of possible alternative software, or ideally a web-based program that could be used instead? I’m interested in any possible solutions.
