In education, the challenge is to deliver flexible, enhanced learning environments, while maintaining compatibility with aging infrastructure and tight budgets.
ThinKiosk is a software-defined thin client that repurposes existing Windows hardware into secure, centrally managed, Windows-based thin clients. It delivers a familiar look and feel for students and teaching staff alike.
Being Windows-based ensures compatibility is maintained with external educational peripherals, such as smart whiteboards or multi-screen displays.
Secure Remote Worker, built on a Thinkiosk core, enables flexible learning by allowing students to have secure remote access to their learning environments using personally owned Windows devices from home, or when studying from any number of locations.
Students of today are the employees of tomorrow, and in the consumer driven world in which we live, this becomes an important factor when it comes to delivering educational services to schools, colleges, and universities. Students, both young and old, will be far more technically savvy than ever before when it comes to working with IT systems, apps and data.
Whether it’s classroom-based primary and secondary education, or a more flexible approach to learning within further, higher, or even distance learning-based education, the challenges remain the same: How can educational services deliver an improved end user learning experience while at the same time keeping one eye on the ever shrinking budgets?
One approach to enhancing learning environments is by deploying some form of virtual desktop or remote app based solution, centralizing computing resources and allowing students to connect from classroom networks as well as from home.
This is where ThinKiosk comes in: ThinKiosk cuts out the need to invest in additional hardware by converting existing Windows PCs into high-performance thin clients.
ThinKiosk's intuitive Centralized Endpoint Management platform simplifies repetitive IT tasks, allowing IT teams to easily manage, troubleshoot and push updates from a single console.
Students now have the ability to log onto remote apps and desktops, allowing them to launch apps and review content on PC’s and laptops in the classroom environment, or even from their PCs at home. This approach allows them to connect remotely and effectively extends the classroom environment into their homes.
With this in mind, ThinScale developed Secure Remote Worker—A version of ThinKiosk with a specialised set of features that allow for personal windows devices to dynamically swap between the native desktop and the ThinKiosk VDI without compromising on endpoint security.
ThinKiosk & Secure Remote Worker have some key functionality in enabling personal & corporate devices to become PCI compliant, including:

ThinScale products have been designed to deliver features and benefits both inside and outside the classroom, empowering IT admins to create enhanced learning environments.
Organizations can utilize the hardware that they already own, so with a ThinKiosk solution the cost is purely for the software license, and can be deployed, retracted and redistributed quickly and simply.
The key to any successful solution is giving students something they are used to already using. ThinKiosk provides a seamless transition to remote solutions, coupled with a familiar user interface.
Secure Remote Worker allows end users to access their virtual desktop and remote application resources from any windows machine, personal or otherwise, enabling common room and staff BYOD initiatives.
School administrators can configure ThinKiosk thin client staff profiles. The profiles can be adapted to define appearance settings, security functionality and much more.
The secure workspace environment is managed centrally using the ThinScale Management Platform, allowing organizations to ensure that the environment is secure and up to date.
Windows-based thin clients allow you to take advantage of, and continue using, all the features and benefits end users are accustomed to using, and IT admins are able to easily support.
Our products provide students and teachers with a secure learning environment from where they can access their remote desktop and application environments.
Due to shrinking budgets, Allen Independent School District needed a fast and economically viable way to prolong the shelf lives of 16,000 Windows devices across seventeen elementary schools, three middle schools, one freshman center and one high school.
ThinKiosk gave the local IT teams the ability to customize user experience at a campus and grade level. In particular, our solutions exposed applications on local computers that might have led to issues running in a virtual desktop.
