Hapara Teacher Dashboard, a management layer of software built on top of Google Apps, gives teachers a complete, real-time view of student work going on with Google tools, including tracking individual progress and facilitating content sharing. Documents are organized by class for teachers--in other words, teachers don't have to do the organizational work. Teachers can see which applications students are running (or have previously used) and can communicate directly with students and parents through the Google Apps suite of products, including Google Docs, Sites, Picasa, Blogger, Gmail, Google+ and Calendar.

Hapara also offers what it calls Remote Control, which allows teachers to monitor and control the applications on students' computer from any location. To ensure that students are on-task, teachers can open the same applications on all student computers and observe their work in real-time.
