Hello,
I work for a department of continuing education at a German university. We do a
lot of distance learning, and teaching students about various tools has become
more and more common. We would like to allow a course's teacher to join an
active connection of one of his students whenever the student asks for help.
Furthermore, we would like to reduce cognitive load for everyone. Currently, a
student seeking for the teacher's help has actively to create a share Link
which must then be transported via video-conferencing chat, messenger or e-mail
to reach the teacher. This is too much work when there is already "trouble"
with the tool running within Guacamole.
For this purpose, we have added a "sharingLinks"-column to the
SettingSessions.html table. All sharing links created by the student should be
automatically displayed on the teacher's screen. So whenever a student asks for
help, the teacher can start joining a read-only or read-write session once the
student agreed on.
Each time the ManagedClient.createShareLink-method is called, the created link
should be sent to the server and added to the respective active connection.
Since we have only recently started working on guacamole development and the
documentation is very sparse, we now ask ourselves what would be the best way
to send the created link object to the server?
I would be very thankful for any help!
Kind regards,
Marcel
