Classroom for instructors

#Goal

Run a shared class on one appliance without chaos.

#Before class checklist

1. Size the host for concurrent nodes (Sizing and upgrades)
2. Activate Enterprise if you need class timers, PDF, Proctor, and auto-grade (Licence)
3. Create student users (Users, roles, and quotas)
4. Import required images before class (Bulk folder import)
5. Build a gold lab; share it per Sharing labs and class timers
6. Confirm FRR/Alpine seeds if using FOSS starters (sudo vexnx-seed-docker)
7. Confirm /dev/kvm for QEMU labs

#During class

#After class

• Stop labs; optionally wipe student nodes
• Export useful topologies as lab packs when your edition supports it
• Use Classroom Export PDF for a printable session snapshot when needed

#Expected result

• Students open the shared lab without rebuilding
• Timers enforce Stop/Wipe at the deadline
• Dashboard lists only shared or timed labs

#If it fails

• No Classroom feature -> Student edition; share may still work without timers
• Dashboard empty -> share the lab or start a timer
• Host pressure -> reduce concurrent QEMU nodes; see sizing guide
