Aerial maps and GPS-style systems will measure "the distance from each property to a series of amenities and services".
Each of the buildings in the database has a unique identification, and the system can specify the use of around 90pc of buildings in the country – if they are, for example, a newsagents, school, takeaway or office block.
The spokeswoman said the GeoDirectory "provides information on property location and type; and spatially derived data that indicate relative distances of all residential properties from a series of key amenities and services including transport, health, education and emergency services".
Covert surveillance capability
The school loaded each student's computer with LANrev's remote activation and tracking software. This included the now-discontinued "TheftTrack".[17][25][26][27] While TheftTrack was not enabled by default on the software, the program allowed the school district to elect to activate it, and to enable whichever of TheftTrack's surveillance options the school desired.[8]
The school elected to enable TheftTrack to allow school district employees to secretly and remotely activate a tiny camera webcam embedded in the student's laptop, above the laptop's screen.[17][25][26][27] That allowed school officials to secretly take photos through the webcam, of whatever was in front of it and in its line of sight, and send the photos to the school's server.[8][17] The system snapped and sent a new photo every 15 minutes when the laptop was on, and TheftTrack was activated, though school employees could adjust the timeframe to as low as one-minute intervals.[8][28][29] LANrev disabled the webcams for all other uses (e.g., students were unable to use Photo Booth or video chat), so most students mistakenly believed that their webcams did not work at all.[30]
In addition, TheftTrack allowed school officials to take screenshots (pictures of whatever was on the laptop's screen), and send them to the school's server.[8][17] Furthermore, a locating device would record the laptop's Internet (IP) address, enabling district technicians to discover which city the laptop was located and its internet service provider. (A subpoena to the provider would be required to pinpoint the exact location.) [29] In addition, LANrev allowed school officials to take snapshots of instant messages, web browsing, music playlists, and written compositions.[17][31]
After sending the image to the school's server, the laptop was programmed to erase the "sent" file created on the laptop. That way, there would not be any trace by which students might realize that they were being watche
As long as the students computers are connected to the teachers network, the program will allow teachers to send, share and monitor contents of the students, share a student's screen with the class and direct students to particular websites and programs. Teachers can also send individual notes to a students' screens, decreasing class interruptions.
When the students attend a class, they will sign onto the teacher channels. By signing onto the teacher's channel, it allows teachers to monitor their students using their laptops during class time. Teachers can also control the student's screen, share a screen with the class etc.
This program allows teachers to view and control students' computers when they are logged into the teacher's channels during lessons. This program would only work when they are connected to the school's network.
When the students are in a classroom to attend a particular class, the program designed will be allow the teacher in charge to view every students computer screen as the students connect to the network.
LanSchool students download the software onto their computer,
Since the program allows the teacher to access and control the student computer, theres a possibility that the teacher access students files on their computer while they're away.
This might lead to privacy problems due to the lack of security in the program. When the students connect to the teacher's computer, the teacher will have full access of the student's computer.
When students leave the class, they sign off of the channel, disabling the teacher from viewing the student’s screen.
when the student's laptop is not within a certain range from the teacher's channel, students are automatically sign off of that channel (not sure if this is done by network or just the connection between the teacher's computer and the student's computer)
The program would stop broadcasting the student's screen as soon as they leave the "channel". The program would use the school network to proxy the two computers and once the student has logged off the "channel", the program stops the connection
In order to run LanSchool students download the software onto their computer. When students leave the class, they sign off of the channel, disabling the teacher from viewing the student's screen. Since they leave the class, their computers would either be on standby or switch off mode, therefore the network accessibilty on the students computer would be switched off as well, therefore disabling connection with the network, and disabling the teacher from viewing the students screen.
When the student leaves the network or exit the channel that they signed in to in order for the teachers to view their screens, the teachers will be able to access or view the students screen afterwards. Once the connection is lost, the program disables the connection between the 2 parties.
