bwSuite - Administration Client for Virtual Machines and Events
The bwSuite (bwLehrpool-Suite) is a bwLehrpool client application to create and administrate virtual machines for study and coursework. With the help of the bwSuite it is possible to download ready-to-use virtual machine templates, which you can adapt locally for your purposes. Then, the bwSuite is capable to upload these personalized virtual machines to the bwLehrpool-Server, create new events and link the virtual machines to created events. Additionally, permissions can be set to grant selected or all users access to virtual machines.
