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.
