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.

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
This is not screen sharing. When you drop in, your keyboard and mouse drive the student's actual lab machine - you fix the typo in their config file, on their VM, while they watch and learn. Then you drop back out to the grid.
- No "can you share your screen?" - you are already there
- Student keeps watching: it is a lesson, not a takeover
- Works on every machine in every student's lab

Run the room, not just the labs
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
