To display a graphic when locking a Student machine

By default, a graphic is displayed on a Student's screen when the Tutor locks a Student's keyboard and mouse. You can choose to disable this and instead blank the Student screen - or the image can be changed if required.

Notes:

  • If you view a locked Student, the display graphic on a Student screen will no longer apply.

  • If an image file cannot be located on the Student machine, a flashing message "This machine has been locked by the control user" will be displayed on the Student screen.

  • The lock image will not be displayed on Mac Students that are logged out.

To disable the display graphic

  1. Choose {File}{Configuration - User Interface} from the Tutor Console drop-down menu.

  2. Clear the Display image when locking mouse and keyboard option.

  3. Click OK.

  4. The Student's screen will now be blanked when locked.

Change the graphic to be displayed

The image can be replaced if necessary by replacing the file or by using the Student Configurator to select an alternative file.

  1. In the Student Configurator, choose {Advanced}.

  2. The Image File field will display the default file.

  3. Click Browse to select an alternative file, then Open.

  4. The image file will display the new file.

  5. Click OK.
