Our Medical School are installing a program called Netsupport School in
their clusters.  It allows a tutor to put any screen in the cluster up on
all the machines.  This would often be the tutor's screen, for demos, but
any student's screen could be broadcast for discussion.  There are other
individual tutor-student interactions possible.  It needs fast machines
with plenty memory, otherwise it slows doen a bit.  It would certainly
offer your minimum requirement!  But I've only experienced it in a one-off
demo, so a I can't comment on how it works in real life use.

Best wishes
