• Allow the instructor to monitor all student activity from his/her workstation
• Remove distractions by limiting access to the web, social media, apps and other content
• Facilitate interaction through audio, chat and broadcast functionality
• Control student machines, enable co-browsing, sharing of teacher and student monitors
