Interacting With Students

ARD helps instructors teach more efficiently by letting them interact with student
computers individually or as a group.

Using Text Messages

Send ARD text messages to communicate with students. For example, notify them that
a classroom activity will start soon or that they have 10 minutes to finish an
examination.

Monitoring Student Computers

View student computer screens on your computer, so you can monitor student
activities or assess how well they’re able to perform a particular task. You can also
monitor the applications running on any student’s computer.

Sharing Screens

Display your screen or a student’s screen on other student computers for training and
demonstration purposes.

Controlling Screens

Show students how to perform tasks by controlling their screens from your computer,
opening applications and using files as required.
