          Appeal No. 1997-2895                                                        
          Application 08/280,341                                                      




               The invention relates to an educational environment.  By               
          means of a network, a control workstation is connected to a                 
          multiplicity of other workstations.  The former is for a                    
          teacher while the latter for the students.  When the teacher                
          desires to observe what is displaying on the displays of the                
          students, the teacher sends a command to the student                        
          workstations.  The student workstations reduce the images on                
          their displays and transmit the data of the reduced images to               
          the teacher’s workstation.  Thus, the teacher is able to                    
          simultaneously see on the display of the control workstation                
          the reduced images from the displays of a plurality of student              
          workstations.                                                               
               Claim 1 is reproduced below as illustrative of the                     
          invention.                                                                  
               1.   In a networked computer system having at least one                
          control workstation and a multiplicity of other workstations,               
          each having an associated display device for displaying                     
          information being processed at the respective workstations, a               
          method for displaying information from the display devices of               
          a plurality of said other workstations on the display device                
          of said control workstation, comprising the steps of:                       
               generating a command to said plurality of other                        
          workstations to provide the control workstation display                     
          information;                                                                
                                         -2-
