Marcel Steiner updated GUACAMOLE-1941: -------------------------------------- Attachment: changed menu-section.PNG > Improved Session Sharing in Distance Learning Settings > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GUACAMOLE-1941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1941 > Project: Guacamole > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: guacamole-client > Reporter: Marcel Steiner > Priority: Minor > Attachments: changed menu-section.PNG, changed settings-sessions > table.png > > > In engineering classes, we use Guacamole for tool training sessions. In > distance-learning settings, we typically use a combination of BigBlueButton > as a video conference instrument and Guacamole to give students and teachers > access to pre-defined and pre-configured Linux and Windows VMs. Teachers > complain that - compared to on-campus sessions - they typically miss two > things: > 1) An easy way to look over students' shoulders to gather their progress, > 2) the possibility of helping students get along with a complicated software > tool. > While 1) could be handled using Guacamole's read-only session sharing or > BigBlueButton's screen sharing, it requires explicit activity from the > students. Teachers prefer to go virtually through the seating rows to glimpse > the students' screens. 2) could be handled using Guacamole's read-write > session sharing, but a student already lagging behind in a tool session is > hardly capable of using another software feature to get help. > > We are currently working on the following: > * The Guacamole sessions of a group (class) should be easily accessible for > the class teachers. It should be possible for a teacher to get an overview of > all shared connections and to access the session directly via this overview. > Students should be able to allow or forbid the inspection of their screens by > the teachers. > * - Every time a student opens a Guacamole session with a sharing profile, > it should appear in the teachers (who could have a group administrator role) > settingsSessions table. The teacher can now directly join the connection > read-only or read-write (if the according access permissions have been > granted by the student). This means that the sharing link does not have to be > actively created by the student, nor does it have to be sent to the teacher > via mail or BigBlueButton chat. > > We would greatly appreciate it if you could support us in making Guacamole > sessions easier to join for admins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
