More and more online schools from grade school up through college have adapted this technology to help in the digital classroom. By doing so more doors have been opened for both non-profit and for profit school systems, where a student can feel like they are right in a classroom without ever leaving their bedroom.
At a grade school level, technology like this has been adapted to give teachers a more hands on approach to teaching students in a virtual classroom. For students and parents at this level, they might not have the skill set to properly navigate the school site, email or even turn in work.
Remote control software can easily be used to teach students the fundamentals of using the school site. In larger settings this becomes very time effective as the host can show multiple end users at one time how to do a certain set of tasks.
The college level is where programs like these really shine. Teachers are able to watch how students work at a closer one on one level. This further opens the door of possibilities through tutoring.

But software like this is more precise in what the intention is for it. These one-on-one sessions can easily be adapted to group settings where multiple students are able to be taught virtually. Live action lectures, tests, group projects or individual ones can all be performed through remote control software.
Remote control technologies are known for its ability to track information. So whether at a grade school or more advanced level, instructors are able to go back and see where students are having the most trouble or making the most mistakes.
Being able to tailor make lesson plans based off the entire (or individual needs) classroom. By doing this the education and teaching process becomes more streamlined and effective. This is easy to understand and easy to use technology which more and more school systems are starting to adapt to.
