  <title>Didactical monitoring software for Linux-networks</title>
  <description>iTALC is a powerful software for Linux-networks, which was especially developed
for working with computers in school. But it can be also used in other
learning-environments. iTALC is a software for teachers using the computer
as didactical tool in their lessons. It aims to be a complete replacement for
expensive commercial software like MasterEye (tm).

iTALC makes it possible, to access and influence the pupils activities from the
computer of the teacher. This way iTALC supports the work with modern
equipment in school.
For example the teacher is able to see the content of the pupils screens on his
screen. If a student needs help, the teacher can access his desktop and
give support while sitting in front of his computer. The pupil can watch all
activities, the teacher is doing on his desktop. So the he can learn new
processes.

If you want to teach the pupils completely new stuff, you can switch into
demo-mode. Then all pupils see what the teacher is doing/demonstrating.
It's also possible to let a pupil demonstrate something by redirecting his
screen to all screens of the other pupils.
iTALC provides even more features for controlling the pupils computers.
For example you can lock all screens, so that the pupils can't continue their
work and are forced to turn their attention to the teacher. You can also kill
games or internet-browsers, if these things are not part of the lesson.

But there are also some nice features for administrators, making the
administration of the computers much easier and more comfortable. For example
you can execute one or more commands on every computer without sitting in front
of every computer and typing these comands. The execution of X-applications
(e.g. Star/OpenOffice-Setup) on all clients with redirection to the local
admin-computer is also part of iTALC's featurelist. Furthermore you can
shutdown and restart the computers per remote control. If the computers support
Wake-on-LAN, it's also possible to turn on all computers from a central place.
