HowTos for teaching and learning

All Debian packages mentioned in this section can be installed by running apt install <package> (as root).

Teaching Programming

stable/education-development is a meta package depending on a lot of programming tools. Please note that almost 2 GiB of disk space is needed if this package is installed. For more details (maybe to install only a few packages), see the Debian Edu Development packages page.

Monitoring pupils

/!\ Warning: make sure you know the status of the laws about monitoring and restricting computer users' activities in your jurisdiction.

Some schools use control tools like Epoptes or Veyon to supervise their students. See also: Epoptes Homepage and Veyon Homepage.

To get full Epoptes support, these steps are required.

# Run on a combi server (and on each additional ltsp server):
apt update
apt install epoptes
ltsp-chroot -m --arch amd64 apt update
ltsp-chroot -m --arch amd64 apt install epoptes-client
ltsp-chroot -m --arch amd64 apt install ssvnc
# If diskspace matters, use 'ltsp-update-image -n' instead.
ltsp-update-image

Restricting pupils' network access

Some schools use Squidguard or Dansguardian to restrict Internet access.
