Abstract

A network monitoring and control application suitable for use by teachers and other users is implemented using wireless access points and does not require specific software to be installed on client network devices. The application uses student and class information to organize network client information. Upon receiving a monitoring request, one or more classes assigned to the teacher are identified by accessing class data. Class data is accessed to identify students assigned to the class and the client network devices used by these students. One wireless access point providing wireless network connections to at least a portion of the students' devices is selected to collect network activity information from the students' devices and presents this information to the teacher. The teacher may also use the selected wireless access point to disable students' network access or to redirect students' devices to a network resource.
