Monitor the 640 ILCs distributed all over the Bangladesh.
The Monitoring Dashboard includes 640 ILCs on map indicating the current status, whether it is turned or not, active or inactive users count and other analytic solutions.
Each ILC Server maintains an ‘Agent’ to mediate between ILC Server and Central Server. The Dashboard Installation Agent can be downloaded from web and installed in just a few steps.
The ILC Dashboard Agent present in each ILC collects the data from the Active Directory, processes it and sends it to the central server according to a predefined time interval.
Various analytic reports can be generated and printed based on different criteria set by the end users.
Multiple user roles are present on the Monitoring Dashboard for easy maintenance.

Also, it serves as a common platform for the responsible technical personnel to address different issues to higher authorities.

Repository of e-Learning Materials (ReLM) and applications installed on laptops

1.Develop an application for usage and maintenance of e-learning materials on the LAN server based on

software and e-Learning materials (6 subjects) delivered by NCTB (SD-13). Currently there are 150 contents in total which are also present in all ILC through ReLM.

Develop an application for uploading and maintaining the new and existing e-learning contents. Content developers can upload their e-Contents through this we based application. After reviewing through the application the reviewer can accept the content which then be replicated to all the ILCs.
Create a master copy (installation module) of repository application (software) and the repository content (collection of e-learning materials and other related documents such as curriculum guides) to installed and periodically updated on each ILC Server.
Create a master copy (Disk image) of Windows -10 and individual user software applications (laptop) to be replicated on each laptop.
