Features for Teachers

InterCLASS PC Lab Controller is an "In-CLASS" teaching and learning environment system product. It provides teachers and administrators with control and facilitates a collaborative learning environment for any set of classroom PCs. There is no need to install extra cables or servers, as InterCLASS will work efficiently with your existing PC Lab network LAN or WLAN. InterCLASS enables your class to be more organized, efficient, collaborative and controllable immediately.

Keep the Focus on Task and Take Back Control

With InterCLASS, teachers can monitor all student screens and watch their activities. If students start playing games or browsing inappropriate websites, teachers can take immediate action to stop this adverse behavior. Control features include:

- Restrict student Internet browsing (Whitelist, blacklist specific sites or stop the Internet altogether)
- Lock and blackout student computers
- Control a student PC from the teacher
- Block applications
- Monitor application use
- Screen snapshot
- View all student screens

Mute Student Volume Settings and Restrict Covert CD Listening

Teachers can take control of a student computer's volume settings directly from the teacher computer. You can mute them if they are listening to music when it's not appropriate.

PC Power Control

Teachers can easily control the student PC power in a lab with simple clicks of a button. Select student computers or the whole lab can be Turned ON, Turned OFF, Restarted or Logged ON/OFF. The Log ON/OFF is especially beneficial for lab maintenance or to help the littlest students in the lab log on in an efficient manner. Administrators appreciate this feature, as they are looking for ways to cut costs on building power, which lab computers consume quite a lot of.

Student Presentations Broadcasted to each Student Monitor


Teachers can also pick one student to make his/her presentation to the rest of the class via each Student PC's desktop. This is helpful for multimedia presentations using applications like PowerPoint® and for other school projects or portfolios.

Send and Collect Files

Another great aspect of the InterCLASS system is the ability for teachers to distribute, collect and redistribute files to students. Teachers can distribute files from any application that is installed on both the teacher and Student PCs. Students can edit the files and the teacher can collect them back for grading. The files can also be redistributed back to the students.

Testing and Polling

InterCLASS is one of the easiest ways to gauge student learning through testing and polling. Teachers can easily create tests and quizzes with the InterCLASS database, that will automatically be graded by the system. All answers can be seen in real time by the teacher as students are taking their test. Questions can also be shuffled to avoid a student's wandering eye.

Demonstrations Broadcasted from the Teacher Station to each Student PC

Teachers can emphasize key points in a lesson by broadcasting the teacher's monitor to the student monitors in the lab or classroom. This is helpful to show students how to accomplish a particular task or to teach a new application. Teachers can illustrate these tasks with the use of the ePen that can highlight or add text. Many teachers may find this useful, as they may have to use labs or classrooms that are too small for an overhead projector.
 

Real-Time, Synchronous Video for Multimedia Lessons

The Live Video version of InterCLASS allows teachers to broadcast real time video and document camera data to each student's monitor, thus making the lab more versatile and interactive. Teachers can also download videos from subscription sites, like United Streaming™ or Safari Montage™ and play them through the InterCLASS system, saving much needed network bandwith!
