With NetSupport School, Teachers and Trainers can improve the efficiency of classroom instruction by centrally instructing Students on their computer, keep Students on task by monitoring application and web usage, improve support through online help and chat requests and save time by quickly polling the class and showing instant results. Teachers and Trainers can also record all screen, keyboard and mouse activity on a Student workstation to review later or to replay to the class. With educational budgets under increasing pressure, NetSupport School enables schools, colleges and training institutions to maximise the return from the IT infrastructure already in place.

Higher Ed

NetSupport School is widely adopted across the globe by Colleges and Universities.

It is often assumed that classroom management products are developed with a view to effective control and management of younger students and as such the products have less relevance within higher education. It is true that younger students require a greater level of "hands on" control and instruction and that features that allow a more positive enforcement of acceptable use policies are essential.

Within higher education the same tools can be effectively applied to benefit the ICT classroom, however in this environment the flexibility and stability of NetSupport School allows a wider focus on collaborative teaching, assessment and group working. The need to deliver effective application instruction and presentations remains unchanged, but the need for tools that allow students to interact, question and assess information presented takes equal priority. Higher education students also have a need to take information delivered within the classroom and use this for external research and project work, and again NetSupport School provides the tools to streamline this process.

Features within NetSupport School developed for Higher Education include :

  • Wireless Optimised software for easy support of Laptop users.
  • Pre-defined class lists for easy connection to roaming students.
  • Support for pre-created lesson plans and content delivery.
  • Interactive Virtual Whiteboard with support for student interaction and collaboration.
  • Group Leader mode - allowing break out groups and students to be assigned limited instruction tools.
  • Multi connection support allowing multiple Instructor connections to a single PC.
  • Automatic creation and delivery of a Replay (Video) to each student PC after a presentation for post lesson review.
  • Automatic Hand out and Collection of coursework from student computers.
  • Real-time student surveys and testing.
  • Multi user / group collaborative chat.
  • Control of USB Memory Sticks allowing access to content but protection of lab computers.
