LANDesk Classroom Manager

Monitor - See what your students see. Our Teacher Console provides thumbnail or full screen views of each student screen. See what websites and applications are running on student computers. Monitor up to 250 computers per classroom. View a list of websites visited by students daily.

Control - Easily and quickly lock-down student computers (mouse, keyboard, and screen). Control exactly which programs and web sites your students can or can’t use. Immediately stop (or start) printing privileges. Turn all the machines in your lab on or off with just a couple of clicks. LANDesk Classroom Manager makes it easy to perform these actions on any or all the student computers in your lab. Industry-leading anti-tampering controls make our software extremely difficult to disable.

Teach - Broadcast your screen (or a particular student’s screen) to the entire class (or any subset thereof). Answer student questions via text messages, or initiate a chat session with a particular student. While broadcasting, draw on the screen to highlight or emphasize specific points. Take remote control of individual or multiple student systems. Quickly administer online multiple choice or true/false quizzes to assess comprehension (with real-time results shown in the Teacher Console).
