Thanks Kevin, that helps a lot! I can only imagine how challenging it would
be to get faculty on board:)

Just wondering if it is overkill to use it on desktops and laptops that
are logged into locally.


Ah I see!  We do use it for local systems for sys-admins (we have one
entire team who rolled it to all of their desktops, laptops and servers
before we even had a chance to ask them if they were interested in trying
it out!).  Given how often schools tend to find hardware keyloggers, I am
100% in favour of using it for all local logins but there's some concern
our faculty won't go for it.  Right now it's an "in IT-only" sort of
initiative.
