HowTos for teaching and learning
Contents
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.
