Overall Satisfaction with Lenovo LanSchool

LanSchool has been a integral product for my teaching and assessments when teaching in a computer lab environment. As the instructor I can control what is being conducted on student computers and can share my screen with the students where they can follow along with my demonstrations on one of their monitors. I no longer see squinting at the projected screen at the front of the room. I can also lock their screens so they cannot do other tasks during lectures. Finally we use it during assessments to keep students honest on exams. I can see their screens and lock down the computers via whitelisting or blacklisting sites or applications. It has been a great tool all the way around.
  • Screen broadcasting.
  • Whitelisting/blacklisting applications.
  • Use it to connect to multiple computers, log in, and install software instead of going around one by one.
  • Screen locking.
  • Updating of application connecting directly (if licensed) instead of forcing me to go to website, sign in to download. This is not teacher oriented.
  • It is cheaper than online proctoring when we are doing the face to face exams with less pushback from the students.

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Lenovo LanSchool go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Lenovo LanSchool again?

Yes

I have recommended it across campus and would not hesitate to do so again. It has been great in our lab environments and would like to continue using it for years to come. In the future as we move away from physical labs I will be investigating to purchase for BYOD devices, however I know that I will face pushback from students on this. However we must weigh privacy & security vs. using BYOD devices and integrity on exams.
