Remote Desktop Control can be used when a teacher needs to help a student directly from the teacher desk.
This feature allows the teacher to control the student computer keyboard and mouse, demonstrate the next step, fix a problem, or support a student without walking across the room.
Typical use cases include:
- Helping a student who is stuck in an application.
- Fixing a setup problem during a lesson.
- Showing one student how to complete the next step.
- Supporting students in a computer lab or remote classroom.
