> Improved Session Sharing in Distance Learning Settings

> Key: GUACAMOLE-1941
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1941
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole-client
> Reporter: Marcel Steiner

>
> In engineering classes, we use Guacamole for tool training sessions. In
> distance-learning settings, we typically use a combination of BigBlueButton
> as a video conference instrument and Guacamole to give students and teachers
> access to pre-defined and pre-configured Linux and Windows VMs. Teachers
> complain that - compared to on-campus sessions - they typically miss two
> things:
> 1) An easy way to look over students' shoulders to gather their progress,
> 2) the possibility of helping students get along with a complicated software
> tool.
> While 1) could be handled using Guacamole's read-only session sharing or
> BigBlueButton's screen sharing, it requires explicit activity from the
> students. Teachers prefer to go virtually through the seating rows to glimpse
> the students' screens. 2) could be handled using Guacamole's read-write
> session sharing, but a student already lagging behind in a tool session is
> hardly capable of using another software feature to get help.
>
> We are currently working on the following:
> * The Guacamole sessions of a group (class) should be easily accessible for
> the class teachers. It should be possible for a teacher to get an overview of
> all shared connections and to access the session directly via this overview.
> Students should be able to allow or forbid the inspection of their screens by
> the teachers.
> * - Every time a student opens a Guacamole session with a sharing profile,
> it should appear in the teachers (who could have a group administrator role)
> settingsSessions table. The teacher can now directly join the connection
> read-only or read-write (if the according access permissions have been
> granted by the student). This means that the sharing link does not have to be
> actively created by the student, nor does it have to be sent to the teacher
> via mail or BigBlueButton chat.
>
> We would greatly appreciate it if you could support us in making Guacamole
> sessions easier to join for admins.
