At any point in time, a student can obtain control of the applications and system resources or the teacher may ask him/her to do so. It is worth noting that the instructor always has total control over the system, ensuring that all actions are performed in the expected manner.

The platform also provides applications that enable the creation and review of teaching material, like drawings and charts, text files and HTML content, located either locally or on the Internet.
