Post Description

NetSupport School is a class leading training software solution, providing Teachers with the ability to instruct, monitor and interact with their Students either individually, as a pre-defined group or to the overall class. 

Combining advanced classroom PC monitoring, real-time Presentation and Annotation tools, with an innovative customised Testing suite, Internet and Application control, real-time audio monitoring, automated Lesson Plans, Printer Management, Instant Messenger control, Content Monitoring and Desktop Security, this latest version of NetSupport School rises to the challenge and requirements of today's modern classroom.

Real-time Audio Monitoring (New)
NetSupport School now provides the tools teacher’s and trainers need to ensure language lab computers are being used for their intended purpose! Monitor the entire class in a single view and with the use of the displayed visual indicators see instantly which PCs have live audio activity. Listen to a student’s microphone feed and correct pronunciation, conduct a 2-way chat with a specific student avoiding disruption for the rest of the class.

Manage Student Resources (New)
The Student Toolbar now provides a quick and convenient way for students to access the resources required for a given lesson. In situations where the school’s computer desktops are ‘locked down’, thus preventing student’s from creating desktop shortcuts to work files, websites etc, teachers will often need to spend precious time explaining to the class where to access the resources from. Teachers can now by-pass this cumbersome approach by quickly adding the required shortcuts to the Student Toolbar.

Connect To Students In Room (New)
NetSupport School 10.5 introduces an additional connectivity option ideal for helping teacher’s quickly connect to the machines in a given room. An intuitive startup wizard enables you to assign PCs to a particular room and quickly deploy the student software to those machines. At the start of a lesson the teacher simply indicates which of the pre-defined rooms they want to connect to. ‘Roaming’ Students also have the option of connecting to a designated room.

Browse and Connect Performance (Enhanced)
A new configuration option, ‘Accelerate Browse’, dramatically improves browse and connect performance. If while browsing for Students some of the machines in the ‘known list’ are switched off, rather than pause while trying to connect, the Tutor will instantly skip the unavailable machines and move on to those that are available. A visual indicator will highlight those machines that could not be connected to.

Student Thumbnails (Enhanced)
Student Thumbnails can now be sized using a flexible slide-bar enabling you to make better use of the space available on the Tutor screen. (The teacher interface can quickly be viewed full-screen by pressing ‘F11’ should more room be needed to view the thumbnails.)

Terminal Server Support (Enhanced)
Installing and configuring NetSupport School for a Terminal Server environment is now a more simplified and seamless process.
