About

AB Tutor Control has been designed in response to requests from teachers and trainers who need to interact effortlessly with their students on an individual, group or full classroom basis using a very simple and intuitive user interface. No prior experience of computer-based training or networking is required.

The software enables teachers (or network administrators) to control a number of student workstations in a computer training room - or remote location - from one central workstation. Classroom groups and policies as well as Internet and application restrictions can be created by teacher or network managers to maintain security on large networks.

Network administrators and help desk support staff also find the software useful as a means of remote access support and diagnostics.

The software consists of two components, the Teacher (Tutor Control) program and the Student (Client) program. The Student component is a very small program installed on all the students' workstations you need to monitor/control and can be installed on as many machines as you like as this component is free of charge. The main Tutor Control program is installed on the machines to be used by the teachers or administrators. This is the main controlling program and it's just this component you will need to purchase.

System Requirements:
IBM compatible 486 or higher (recommended) with 16Mb RAM, 10Mb free disk space; good graphics card also recommended.
AB Tutor Control runs on: Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003
Network protocol: TCP/IP with port 5151 open and not blocked by firewalls.
