Abstract
The teaching of STEM requires the effectiveness of practical work for the assimilation of knowledge. However, practical work is often neglected in the case of distance learning because of the difficulties encountered by the actors in accessing and configuring the terminals.
In this article, we propose a solution based on the use of a relevant openVPN mode to remotely extend the functionalities of the Zeroconf protocol that allows the discovery and use of services without configuration in a local network.
This solution, which allows practical work to be carried out in STEM, integrates file transfer functionalities, remote screen control, video, audio and chat without degrading the quality of service.
The solution is also particularly useful for teaching and remote assessment of language skills.
