v-Class is software that integrates teachers and students into a learning system. The teacher can assist the computers of students connected to his/her class, defining the format in which the students will develop their activities.

The system is composed of two modules: v-Class Teacher for the teacher, and v-Class Student for the students, allowing the conveyance of the teacher's activities in accordance with his pedagogical planning objectives.

Via certain commands the teacher can display his own screen on the computers of the students, monitor and control the student's machine, open and close applications, transfer files,run commands remotely, control the use of the Internet, create chat groups, execute tests and instant quizzes in class, control access of the students to the class and, further still, block access to the Internet or silence the student computers in order to avoid distractions.
