Configuring Faronics for use with Distance Teaching
Faronics is proud to be the first classroom management vendor to provide Distance Teaching over
the Internet. With Distance Teaching classroom management is no longer bound to the internal
school network. Teachers will now have the same award-winning Insight features to help students
miles away! Distance Teaching combines the best aspects of Insight with the webRelay technology
of webNetwork to offer a complete end-to-end solution.
Insight Distance Teaching leverages webNetwork’s unique two-tier security architecture to
provide secure, end-to-end access to the Insight Connection Server for students over the Internet.
1. Students configured for Distance Teaching connect to the webNetwork webRelay using HTTP.
2. The webNetwork webRelay transmits the information to the Insight Connection Server using
TCP.
3. The Insight Connection Server passes the information to the Insight Teacher Console.
4. The Insight Teacher Console leverages the same model to communicate back with the Distance
Teaching Student.
