  About ControlAula
Aplication to allow a teacher control a classroom
 
This application allows the teacher control a classroom from his desktop, even from the gnome panel. The teacher can automagically:
- See and control what students are doing
- Lock and unlock internet accesss
- Launch web browser in students desktop with a desired url
- Launch to the students any application dragging and dropping from gnome menu.
- Send files to the students
- Send messages to the students.
- Share/unshare teacher printer
- Transmit video and audio via broadcasting
- Make the students see only the teacher desktop.

All these actions can be taken individually, to some selected students or to every student desktop.

There are also several options to disallow the students the use of their computer if the teacher is not in the classroom, or don't want them to use it.

It is made using gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net).
It is already available in english, italian, french, turkish and spanish.
 
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.8.x. Other dependencies include:
gambas2-gb-gtk, videolan, rfb, wakeonlan
 
  Latest Version: 0.9.1
Some new features:
* Vlc transmits now for different ports depending on the teacher uid, so multiple transmissions are allowed in the same network. Thanks to Ángel Martínez Giles
* sirvecole now allows connections from a pc different from the teacher PC if "ipAdmin" is set in /etc/sirvecole
* sirvecole will halt the student PC after two minutes without the monitorprofe application contacts if MonitorNecesario is set to "1" in /etc/sirvecole
* enable paused printers when restarting monitorprofe & sirvecole
* reverted previous use of vlc as dvd with menus can not be broadcasted
* Francisco Paniagua improvements:
- improved scanning of the network.
- The teacher can reconnect a single student to the video transmission.
- Added a config file (/var/monitorprofe/monitorprofe.cfg) to share some settings by all the teachers that use the same pc.
