Faronics Insight User Guide
Using the Teacher computer
The use model for Insight is quite similar to previous versions. On the teacher computer, you will
see a small Faronics Insight icon in the system tray. The system tray is located in the bottom right
corner of your computer screen. You will use this menu to control the key features of Faronics
Insight. On a Mac, the Faronics Insight menu can be accessed on the dock icon.
More advanced features are available when you access the Faronics Insight Teacher console. The
console can be accessed by "left clicking" on the Faronics Insight system tray icon or dock icon or
launching it from the Start menu.
In the console the key features are available as icons on the toolbar. All of the features can be
accessed through the menus. It is also possible to right mouse click on computer thumbnails to
access the key features.
When selecting computer thumbnails, we recommend using ctrl-a to select all computers or hold
down the ctrl key and click with your mouse to select a group of computers. On the Mac use
command-a to select all computers. In the thumbnail view you can select multiple computers by
just selecting them with the mouse.
When using the toolbar buttons, a single click enables that feature and presses the button.
Another click will disable that feature, just like a toggle switch.
It is possible to have multiple Teacher consoles monitor the same classroom. However, only the
first Teacher’s action on a computer will take effect and only that Teacher console can stop the
action. For example, if a teacher blanks the student’s screens, another teacher cannot unblank the
student’s screens.
