Teachers addressed this issue by demonstrating the usage of the computer to one group at a time or using hand drawn visual aids. Some schools have addressed this issue by purchasing an LCD Projector, which is useful for delivering presentations to a large group of people. For example, trainers often use LCD projectors to demonstrate how to create grade books with Microsoft Excel. LCD Projectors, however, are expensive and the light bulb is very expensive to replace. There is another way to present material to a large group of students in the computer lab. The answer is UltraVNC!! The software to do this is Open Source, which means absolutely free! There are, however, a few requirements in order to use UltraVNC in your computer lab. Computer Lab Requirements: • Computer with Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, or XP, Mac OSX, or Linux • Computers are Networked • At least 2 computers *Note: Internet is not a requirement. The computers only need to be networked. Who should read this tutorial? This document is intended for computer lab managers and other computer savvy teachers. What is UltraVNC? UltraVNC is an easy to use, fast and free software that can display the screen of another computer (via internet or network) on your own screen. The program allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control the other PC remotely. It means that you can work on a remote computer, as if you were sitting in front of it, right from your current location. Although UltraVNC was designed to be used for customer support, we can adapt it for use in the Philippine school setting! Page 2 of 19 How do I use UltraVNC to teach? Setting the Scene: Let’s imagine that a computer lab has five computers and the computers are networked. The teacher wants to teach a lesson on Microsoft Word and wishes to show the students how to start Microsoft Word and to format the text. The teacher, however, does not have an LCD Projector. UltraVNC to the rescue! Luckily the teacher read this handy tutorial and installed UltraVNC on the computers. He/she designated one computer as the teacher computer and the computers as student one through four. The teacher computer is setup as the VNC Server and the student computers are setup as VNC Viewers. Network switch or hub Teacher Student1 Student 2 Student 3 Student 4 VNC Server VNC Viewer VNC Viewer VNC Viewer VNC Viewer When the teacher opens Microsoft Word on the Teacher computer, the students will be able to see what he does on computers Student one through four. The mouse movements and opening of menus that is done on the Teachers computer can be seen by student computers! Where do I get UltraVNC? You can download UltraVNC from the internet at this address. http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ The file is about 3.77 mb.

Page 9 of 19 Setting Up/Configuring the Teacher Computer: 1. From the “Start” Menu find the UltraVNC Folder 2. Click the “UltraVNC Server” icon 3. The first time you start the VNC Server, you will be asked to configure the server. a. Under “Authentication” type in a new password (for example: type “smart”) b. Under “File Transfer” Click “Enable” so that no checkmark appears in the box. c. Under “keyboard & Mouse” Click “Disable Viewers inputs” d. Under “Multi Viewer Connections” Click “Keep Existing Connections” e. Under “Misc.” Click the “Enable blank monitor on viewer request” so that no checkmark appears in the box. f. Click the “OK” button when done. Page 10 of 19 4. Once you click ok, you will see a blue eye on the task bar like the one you see here. The task bar is located on the lower right hand corner of the screen. 5. Open Microsoft Excel on the teacher computer. 6. Now you’re ready to start the student computers as VNC viewers. Page 11 of 19 Setting up/Configuring the Student Computers: Before you start the viewer, you will need to know the computer name of the Teacher Computer. From the teacher computer You can do so by right clicking over the “My Computer” icon on your desktop. Then click on the “Computer Name” tab. Write the “Full Computer Name” down. In this example the full computer name is “smart-1” Page 12 of 19 Now you are ready to start the student computer. From the student computer do the following: • From the “Start” Menu find the UltraVNC Folder • Click the “UltraVNC Viewer” icon • Type in the name of the teacher computer in the VNC Server box. • Then click on the “Options” button. Page 13 of 19 • Click the “View only (inputs ignored)” option • Click the “Full-Screen mode” • Then click the “OK” button. • Then you will be returned to the first screen and type click the “Connect” button • You will be prompted for a password. Enter the password. (for example: smart) • Then click the “Log On” button Page 14 of 19 • The student computer should now see the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that is opened on the “teacher computer” or the VNC Server computer. • Now try changing things on the “teacher computer” and the screen of the student computer will display the same as the teacher computer. • If you wish to close the VNC Viewer, move your mouse to the top of the screen and a black box will drop down. You can click on the “X” button to close. Tricks & Tips Creating a Desktop Icon for Quick Access You may find the task of connecting the student computers to the teacher computer to be tedious. You can create a shortcut on the desktop so all you have to do is double click! Here are the steps to do so: 1. Start UltraVNC Viewer as instructed in the Setting up/Configuring Student Computers section. 2. Restore the computer by moving your mouse to the top of the screen and clicking the restore button. Page 15 of 19 3. Next move your mouse to the upper left-hand side of the screen and RIGHT- CLICK . A menu will appear. Move to the bottom and select the “Save Connection Info As” Page 16 of 19 4. Save the file as “Demo” on the desktop. 5. Click “Yes” 6. Close UltraVNC and you will see an icon on your desktop that looks like the following. Double click on it and it will connect you to the teacher’s computer. Be sure to start the UltraVNC Server on the teacher’s computer first. Page 17 of 19 FAQ’s I entered the computer name of the teacher computer, and it says server not found. 1. Be sure to make sure you have started the VNC Server on the teacher computer first. Then start the UltraVNC viewer on the student computer 2. Double check your network connections. 3. If the name fails, you can try to use the IP Address. To get the IP address of the teacher computer do the following: a. Start Menu -> Run b. Type “cmd” in the box and click the “OK” button. c. At the command prompt type the following: ipconfig /all d. Read the line that says IP Address and try entering the number into the VNC Server box on the UltraVNC Viewer. Then click Connect. How many computer can I connect to the VNC server? I do not have a definitive answer on this. I have tried up to 25 computers connected to a single server and it works pretty well.

  • K1000 Ultravnc Guide
    K1000 UltraVNC Guide What is Ultra VNC? UltraVNC (sometimes written uVNC) is an open source application for the Microsoft Windows operating system that uses the VNC protocol to control another computer's screen remotely. How it works A VNC system consists of a client, a server , and a communication protocol • The VNC server is the program on the machine that shares its screen. The server passively allows the client to take control of it. • The VNC client (or viewer) is the program that watches, controls, and interacts with the server. The client controls the server. • The VNC protocol (RFB) is very simple, based on one graphic primitive from server to client ("Put a rectangle of pixel data at the specified X,Y position") and event messages from client to server. Example Tutorial UltraVNC in this document: Creating a complete UltraVNC MSI Package for the K1000. - To create a complete MSI package, this tutorial will use a simple third party tool which will collect all your settings your require and bundle it together into a MSI file which can then be deployed from the K1000.

  • Collabkit – a Multi-User Multicast Collaboration System Based on VNC
    Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Institut für Informatik Lehrstuhl für Rechnerorganisation und Kommunikation Diplomarbeit CollabKit – A Multi-User Multicast Collaboration System based on VNC Christian Beier 19. April 2011 Gutachter Prof. Dr. Miroslaw Malek Prof. Dr. Jens-Peter Redlich Betreuer Peter Ibach <[email protected]> Abstract Computer-supported real-time collaboration systems offer functionality to let two or more users work together at the same time, allowing them to jointly create, modify and exchange electronic documents, use applications, and share information location-independently and in real-time. For these reasons, such collaboration systems are often used in professional and academic contexts by teams of knowledge workers located in different places. But also when used as computer-supported learning environments – electronic classrooms – these systems prove useful by offering interactive multi-media teaching possibilities and allowing for location-independent collaborative learning. Commonly, computer-supported real-time collaboration systems are realised using remote desktop technology or are implemented as web applications. However, none of the examined existing commercial and academic solutions were found to support concurrent multi-user interaction in an application-independent manner. When used in low-throughput shared-medium computer networks such as WLANs or cellular networks, most of the investigated systems furthermore do not scale well with an increasing number of users, making them unsuitable for multi-user collaboration of a high number of participants in such environments. For these reasons this work focuses on the design of a collaboration system that supports concurrent multi-user interaction with standard desktop applications and is able to serve a high number of users on low-throughput shared-medium computer networks by making use of multicast data transmission.

    9/29/2020 Remote Desktop Roundup: TeamViewer vs. Splashtop vs. Windows RDP How-To Geek Remote Desktop Roundup: TeamViewer vs. Splashtop vs. Windows RDP JASON FITZPATRICK @jasonfitzpatric UPDATED DECEMBER 7, 2017, 1:01PM EDT There are a plethora of remote desktop solutions on the market, and it can be tricky to pick the right one for your needs. Don’t worry though, we’ve done the legwork for you, cataloging and comparing the most popular remote desktop solutions so you can easily pick the right one. https://www.howtogeek.com/257655/remote-desktop-roundup-teamviewer-vs.-splashtop-vs.-windows-rdp/ 1/10 9/29/2020 Remote Desktop Roundup: TeamViewer vs. Splashtop vs. Windows RDP After the recent flurry of news stories regarding TeamViewer and compromised computers (you can read their press release here and our article about properly securing TeamViewer here), there’s been quite a bit of interest in alternative remote desktop programs. Fortunately, there’s practically as many ways to set up a remote desktop session as there are motivations for doing so. RELATED: How to Lock Down TeamViewer for More Secure Remote Access Rather that simply throw a laundry list of remote desktop solutions at you, we’ve opted to group them into two major categories: operating- system-based remote desktop solutions, provided by the same company behind your operating system, and third-party remote desktop clients. Each of these solution categories offers something of value depending on your needs. Let’s take a look at each category now and highlight the benefits, shortcomings, and differences. As we run through the features of the different remote desktop solutions, keep a few important questions in mind.
