Feature Proposal: Remote Laptop Control for Monitoring Inappropriate Use
Objective: To enhance classroom management and digital safeguarding by allowing staff (teachers or IT admins) to remotely control a student's laptop when inappropriate online behavior is detected, such as accessing non-educational or harmful websites. ________________________________________ Core Features: Remote Laptop Control: • Teachers or IT admins can request temporary control over a student’s laptop during a lesson or monitoring session. • Once granted (automatically or manually), they can: o Copy and paste links to document what the student was accessing. o Close inappropriate tabs/windows. o Navigate the screen to help redirect the student to the right content. o Take screenshots or video recordings as evidence. Clipboard Access: • Ability to copy URLs from the student’s browser/tab without needing to rely on them. • Supports real-time capture of links to sites that violate the school’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Just-in-Time Interventions: • When a student visits a flagged or blocked site, the system notifies the teacher. • The teacher can choose to: o Take over control instantly. o Send a warning message or lock the screen. o Redirect the student’s browser to an approved resource. ________________________________________ Privacy & Security Considerations: • Control is time-limited and logged. • All actions are audited (e.g., who accessed what, when, and why). • Parents and students are informed of the system’s capabilities during onboarding. • Only authorized personnel (e.g., safeguarding leads, digital learning leads) have control access. ________________________________________ Use Cases: • A student is repeatedly accessing inappropriate YouTube content. The teacher can immediately take control, copy the link for reporting, and close the tab. • A student receives a suspicious link via chat/email. The teacher can take control, investigate, and ensure no phishing or malware risk. • During exams, if a student attempts to browse unrelated content, control can be used to lock down or redirect the session. ________________________________________ Benefits: • Enhances student safety and focus. • Provides real-time evidence for safeguarding logs. • Reduces classroom disruption. • Empowers teachers to act instantly without escalating everything to IT. ________________________________________ Integration with Lightspeed: • Ties into existing Lightspeed Classroom Management, Relay Filter, and Lightspeed Alert systems. • Uses the same dashboard interface to keep teacher training and UI simple.
