Erin -
I can echo what Susan says. We installed Alice on individual computers and assigned each student a username/password for the course.  Then we gave each student his/her own computer.  That way it runs off the computer, programs are saved on the computer, and I can go around and grade each student's work whenever I want.
Works well for me.

Hi Erin Wheat and All Others,
Due to the amount of emails I have read in the past few months; I suggest having Alice installed on each computer and not run it from a server across the network. We have a Mac Lab and I do not have those server issues since we installed it on each computer.

Trick 'r treat!

This is the second year I am teaching Alice as an intro to Java course. My district is running Alice off our network server and we are seeing errors where short cuts disappear, individual students cannot access Alice, and sometimes Alice will never load.

It was brought to my attention that Alice runs better when installed on individual computers rather than running from a network. Can anyone confirm or dispute this statement? Does anyone have other solutions we may use?

Any info is appreciated!
