Button Bar

If the console is open, the button bar is the fastest way to access LanSchool's key features. The button bar is configurable so you can put your favorite buttons where you want them.

Thumbnail View

Administrators는 동시에 3000명의 실습생들을 모니터링 할 수 있으며, 두 대의 모니터를 지원합니다.

Details View

The details view shows columns of information about students. By sorting on the column teachers can quickly see the computer, who's logged in, their current application, last visited websited, last question, channel number and version of the software.

ScreenFeed View

ScreenFeed rotates through student screens allowing teachers to monitor student screens from a distance.

Keystroke Monitoring and Alerting

Cyber bullying, using proxy sites and inappropriate use of the Internet are constant problems in schools. To prevent and help provide evidence, LanSchool v7.6 automatically logs all keystrokes on student machines. (This can be disabled if your organization has policies against keystroke monitoring) Months of keystrokes are kept in a rolling log that can be watched in real-time or exported to a .csv file.

The student login, date, time, application and keystrokes are all available from the teacher’s console. Teachers are alerted if a student types a banned word.

Screen Snapshot

If you happen to catch a student inappropriately using their computer, click the Snapshot button and a picture of their computer, with the login name, computer name, date and time stamp is created and saved on the teacher machine.

Internet History

Internet history shows a list of the websites visited by a particular user. Safari is the only supported browser on Macs.

Running Programs

Students love to look busy, but play their music and games in the background. View Running Applications shows all of the applications that are active on the student machine. Even if a program is minimized you’ll be able to see it and optionally add it to the allowed or blocked applications list.

Show Student Screen

If a student has a creative solution to a problem or just a pretty picture, select that student and click the Show Student button. Immediately, all of the students in the class will see in real-time that particular student's computer monitor.

Remote Control

LanSchool v7.6 Remote Control is a quick and easy way to remotely help a student with a question. With a single button click you can take control of the student’s video, keyboard and mouse. The teacher can optionally lock out the student or give them control.

Video Distribution

Multicast video distribution and playback is the most efficient way of playing videos in the classroom. The video file is only sent out once over the network and then teachers can control the playback.

Co-browse

When enabled, co-browsing synchronizes the students' Internet Explorer with the teacher's.

Choose Random Student

Make asking questions fun by having LanSchool randomly select a student. The student's will enjoy the sound and suspense to see if they get chosen.

Audio Chat, Listen and Broadcast

Teachers can audio chat with a student, listen to students and broadcast audio to all or selected students.

Send a Message

Send message is the quickest way to keep a student on task. Once a student knows that the teacher is watching, that is usually enough to keep them focused. Messages can be typed in or selected from the last 10 messages sent. They can be sent to one, selected or all students in the class.

Chat

Chat is a simple, trusted way for teachers to communicate with students without disrupting the rest of the class.

Answer Student Questions

Many students are embarrassed to raise their hand and would prefer to alert the teacher without the other students knowing. With LanSchool v7.6, students can electronically raise their hand by typing in a question to the teacher. The teacher can respond though a chat session and respect the student’s desire to not be recognized.

Testing

Electronically testing and grading is now a simple task. LanSchool’s test builder easily creates true/false, multiple choice, short answer and essay questions that can include graphics. When the test is sent out to students, the teacher can watch in real-time where and how they are doing on the test. The test questions can optionally be randomized and timed. Results can be exported to an electronic gradebook, significantly reducing the time to administer and grade tests.

Tardy students can even be added to a test. Results can be exported to an electronic gradebook, significantly reducing the time to administer and grade tests.

Voting

Voting replaces the need for the traditional “clicker” classroom response system. Teachers can get a quick pulse on whether or not students understand a concept. A True/False or Multiple Choice question can be answered and the results shown immediately to the teacher.

Send/Collect Files

The daunting task of distributing and collecting homework and tests is easy in LanSchool v7.6. Simply select a file and send it to the students. When it is time to collect the file, click the Collect files button and the file is automatically brought back to a unique location on the teacher’s computer or network drive.

For power users, the send/collect files feature also supports environment variables, wildcards and subfolders.

Power On, Logoff, Restart, Power Off

Turning machines on and off can take 10-20 minutes every day. Get that time back with LanSchool’s Power features. Selected student machines can be powered on, logged off, restarted or shutdown with the click of a button. The power on features only work with desktops that support the Intel Wake-On-Lan standard.

Multi-remote control

Unique to LanSchool v7.6 is the ability to do multi-remote control. This feature allows the teacher or administrator to take control of multiple machines at the same time to perform administrative tasks or log the machines in at the same time.

Remote Login

Remotely log in Windows computers using the same credentials for every computer

Wireless

Wireless carts and tablets are becoming more common in schools across the world. LanSchool v7.6 works especially well in wireless environments, carts and on tablet computers because of its efficient use of network resources.

Thin client

Thin client solutions such as Microsoft’s Terminal Services, MultiPoint Server, Citrix, and NComputing are popular in universities, corporations and schools because of their low total cost of ownership. LanSchool’s implementation on thin clients is extremely easy to deploy and will work seamlessly with the traditional fat client model. You can even mix and match teachers and students between the two architectures.

Class Lists

Teachers wanted a quicker way to start class when using the 1:1 version. Now teachers can create a class list and automatically bring those students into the LanSchool session. In addition, LanSchool setting can be saved and loaded, saving time at the beginning of class.

Class lists can now be automatically generated by exporting .csv files from your Student Information System to a shared location.

Battery Monitoring

Notebook battery monitoring notifies the teacher when a student's battery reaches warning or critical status.

Tamper Resistant

Educational computing is one of the most hostile computing environments to support. Students are constantly trying to circumvent classroom management solutions. LanSchool is unique and goes to great lengths to keep the product reliably running on student machines.

Active Directory Secure Mode

In this mode, teachers must be a member of a domain users group to manage student computers.

Secure Mode

LanSchool can be configured to require a password to access the console. This password must match the password that entered during the secure student install.

Security Monitor

LanSchool Security Monitor logs all LanSchool traffic and filters on selected machines and alert types. This enables an administrator to quickly identify any inappropriate use.

Reduce Student Distractions

Teachers can reduce student distractions by Blanking Screens, Limiting Applications and Limiting Web Browsing on student computers. This helps direct student attention from their computer to the teacher and keeps students on task.

Monitor Students

Ideal for monitoring student activity within a classroom setting, the Thumbnail feature allows you to view all screens as well as see the current application and website that the students are running. Teachers can send messages to all or individual students.

Assess Student Understanding

Students can be quickly polled during a lecture with true/false or multiple choice questions.

Help Individual Students
