Version 7.62.2232.7620 (January 2012)

New Features

Added support for Linux Students on Ubuntu 11.10.
Added the ability to associate a profile with a Class List on a Mac Teacher (already available in Windows).
Mac Only: Added the ability to display custom cursors (like those used in a Photoshop-type of application) on the student during a Show Teacher or Remote Control session (not available on Windows).

Fixes

The base home channel of a Student could sometimes be changed inappropriately if it was updated while loaded in a Class List.
If a Student was at the login screen when a Blank Screen was performed by the Teacher, the Student could break out of the Blank Screen state by pressing Alt+F4. That resulted in the Student showing up as if it was still in the Blank Screen state within the Teacher console, however the Student was able to login and use the computer without being blanked.
Added a number of keys and their translations to keystroke filter including: Pause, Esc, Insert, Delete, Scroll Lock, Num Lock, Prnt Screen, End, and Home.
Removed the Register for Updates prompt for the Demo version of Insight.
Prevented a busy URL in web limiting, where a student could flood the browser address bar by holding down and sending a letter key, or a combination like CTL + F4 among other methods, after entering a forbidden URL on Internet Explorer.
Prevented a possible crash that could occur in the Teacher console when closing a Class List.
Prevented a possible error that could occur when loading a Dynamic Class List in the PC Teacher Console while that list was already being edited by another process, like Excel.
Prevented an error that occurred when a very long Student question was sent. It is now limited to 400 characters.
Added a new command-line argument IgnoreRegPrompt that bypasses the Registration dialog for mass deployments.
Allowed the Show Student screen for Labquest devices from the Teacher console.
Prevented a possible crash in the Mac Teacher console when a very large number of Terminal Server students (> 3000) were listed.
Prevented a problem with Students disappearing from Class Lists in the case where the network connection failed, as a timer to fully re-initialize it is now set, ensuring that within at most 3 minutes the Student will again be connected and be displayed in the list.
While administering a test to a Student, if the student went into standby mode, the Teacher would show their status as Testing Cancelled.
Answers are now scored correctly for those test questions which were previously of type Short Answer but were changed to T/F or Multiple Choice at some point in TestBuilder.
Corrected the configuration setting options when a Profile was saved on a Mac Teacher.
In primarily Terminal Server environments, Students could sometimes toggle frequently between a Not Responding and a normal connected state.
On terminal server, task manager needed to be disabled when doing Show Video.
Corrected a problem with passing <Alt><Tab> through to a Student machine during Remote Control.
Added better handling of Thin Client Students, who could get into a state where the software was still active on the device, but it would not be displayed on a physical Desktop. This could allow a new Student to be discovered with that connection address, though it was already seen as belonging to a different user. This caused the console to continually re-discover students and potentially caused a student’s name to cycle between the connected and not-connected user.
Optimized the performance of the Clear Desktop message so that it goes much more quickly to all students when the list is large.
Corrected a problem when Student connection state information could be lost when their channel was changed in certain cases.
On NComputing X-series devices running operating systems newer than Windows XP, the Student.exe was incorrectly running as a service, causing those devices to be listed with the incorrect machine identification and be displayed with the wrong name.
The station identification of an NComputing L-Series device was not guaranteed to be unique for a certain segment of computers within a particular range of serial numbers.
Corrected a problem in Class Lists in the Mac Teacher where the Teacher Name was corrupted before saving.
Prevented a possible Mac Teacher crash while monitoring keystroke logging.
Added input control by a Student when switching from Remote Control to Show Student in Mac Teacher.
Prevented the view from scrolling to the top or bottom of the screen after refreshing a PC or Mac Console with many Thumbnails.
Fixed a problem showing which Teacher has the student loaded in a class on Mac systems. Tiger does not allow hiding and showing menus, so this feature in not supported on this version of Mac OS X.
Mac Student Web Limiting failed to properly block sites on Firefox 8.0.1.
Mac Teacher classroom layout was not being saved correctly.
The Become a Student option was not enabled in Mac Teacher when a Lite Student was selected.
The Mac Teacher View menu was disabled when selecting a Lite Student.
Enabled the Ctrl-Alt-Del option when Remote Controlling a Linux Student.
Enabled support for Front motion version of Firefox.
Fixed the ability to select a PKG file for Software Distribution in Mac Tech Console on Lion (OS X 10.7).

4011 Modified the about entry on the applet context menu in the Ubuntu student to show the product version.
4016 Added support for demo versions of the Ubuntu and Vernier LabQuest students

4018 Corrected the screen clipping feature available with multi-monitor supported that was causing black boxes to be displayed on the screen.

When the console was resized, Show Teacher did not always scale correctly.
A Mac Lion student did not correctly tile the background when viewing full-screen in Screen Feed view mode.

Version 7.30.2146.7300

New Features

Limit IP Address Browsing
By entering the IP address of a website (i.e. http://70.235.50.6), students were sometime able to bypass the web limiting feature.
Insight now has the option to block all web browsing via IP addresses.
Choose Random Student
Allows the teacher to let Insight randomly select a student. The winning student is notified that they have been selected.
Co-browse the Internet
Allows teachers to simultaneously launch a browser on all or selected student workstations and have the students view the web browser on the teacher’s computer. This feature is perfect for teachers that want to demonstrate the navigation of a website (Microsoft Internet Explorer only).
Randomize Test Questions
Questions are now presented in a random order to prevent students from copying the answers of their neighbors. Teachers still see questions in a consistent order for progress tracking.
Available Websites
Teachers can now implement a launch page that displays the websites that a student is allowed to browse or the websites they are not allowed to browse.
Enhanced Web Limiting
In previous versions of Insight, if a student was browsing the web when the teacher clicked Limit Web, the student could continue to view any page they had currently loaded. This feature has been modified. Now, if a teacher clicks Limit Web, any web browsers that are open on the student machine will be redirected to the Insight Available Websites page if the website is blocked via the white or black list.
Unlimited Internet History
Insight now prevents students from deleting their Internet Explorer browsing history. This feature is not supported on Internet Explorer 8.0.
Auto-Refresh of Running Applications
The running applications window now automatically refreshes so that a teacher can view what applications a student is running in real-time.
Windowed Broadcast Memory
In the past, if a student resized the teacher’s broadcast windows, that size would be lost during the next broadcast. Insight now remembers the size and position of the broadcast windows.
Multi-Platform Voting
Teachers can now send out class votes to both Mac and Windows student workstations.
Increased Workstation Support
In the past Insight was limited to 250 students in the thumbnail or details view. The Insight Console now supports 3000 students, however when selecting a subset of students it must not contain more than 250 students.
This further enhances the use of channel 0 so that a teacher or technician can view and control any student workstation and see all action commands from any teacher workstation on all the channels across the network. Channel 0 can not view teacher workstation’s screen; it can only see what their actions are via a live info box at the bottom of the channel 0 console.
Teacher Profiles
Teachers can now save their console settings and customizations that they can easily load in the future. The following settings are saved in a profile: class lists, thumbnail layouts, allowed and blocked websites, allowed and blocked applications, limit task manager status, limit IP address browsing status, limit print button state, limit USB button state, limit Mute button state, and custom blank screen messages. Allows teachers to have a custom set of settings for each class they teach because each class is not always the same. Teacher profiles are also useful for teachers who share computer labs but want to control the lab in different ways.
One-to-One Enhancements
Insight v7.3 includes several enhancements to support one-to-one schools, including class lists that automatically locate student machines and change their channel to the teacher’s channel, profiles that load according to class lists, and student notebook power level monitoring.

Fixes

Version 7.21.2129.7203
