labconsole grid --watch

The over-the-shoulder advantage, online

In a physical classroom you glance across the room and know exactly how the class is doing. The instructor grid gives you that glance back: every student's live screen, one wall, all the time.

Nine machines on the instructor grid: seven students connected and working, one idle with a timer counting on their card, one seat empty

whoami --stuck

Spot trouble before it becomes a lost hour

Stuck students rarely speak up. On the grid you notice them anyway: the terminal that stopped moving, the error output two exercises back, the login screen that never got past. You intervene while it is still a thirty-second fix.

  • Live thumbnails of every student machine, always on
  • Presence cues show who is connected and active
  • Click any tile to zoom into that student's full screen

labconsole assist stu03

Assist means hands on their machine

Click a tile and you have that student's keyboard and mouse on their actual machine. Fixing the typo in their config file takes ten seconds, they watch it happen, and nobody had to find the share button. Close the console and you are back on the grid.

  • Your keyboard and mouse on the student's VM, with the student watching
  • One click in from the grid, one click back
  • Works on every machine in every student's lab
One student's machine opened full screen from the grid, the instructor typing directly into their terminal
one click from the grid - you are on their machine

Run the room from the grid

The grid is also where you conduct: broadcast a message, start a countdown timer for the exercise, watch feedback come in, and see at a glance when the room is ready to move on.

  • Class-wide chat and per-student messages
  • Countdown timers every student sees
  • Live "how is the pace?" feedback from the class
