Boot a debian from the Lernstick to avoid having students using their own os with possible cheat options.

What is Lernstick?

Linux Lernstick is a mobile and secure learning and working environment for school and home that can be installed on external storage media (e.g. USB flash drives, USB hard drives, SD cards, etc.) so that almost any computer can be started from these storage media. (Troubleshooting see https://github.com/CAMPLA/campla-lernstick-boot/wiki/Boot-Problem-Handling )

Consequently, Lernstick EDU is an ideal platform for so-called "Bring Your Own Device" scenarios, in which pupils, students or learners also use their private devices for school purposes. The use of the Lernstick saves high acquisition costs for IT infrastructure and devices and thus contributes to sustainability.

In addition, there is Lernstick EXAM, a test environment, in which access to Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth and local storage media (internal hard drive, other USB sticks) is initially prevented by default. However, certain network accesses (e.g. network printers or websites) can be allowed for the exam via a whitelist. Furthermore, the selection of software in the examination environment is reduced to software relevant to the examination.

Bootscreen offers language selection and Lernstick tools are localized.
