The latest technology update to leading classroom management and training solution, NetSupport School, is available for immediate download.

This new release introduces a ‘low bandwidth mode’ that is ideal for use in low capacity wireless network environments, minimising any impact on your network while transporting data to and from systems. ICT labs can see particular benefits when sharing presentation materials between machines or when the teacher wishes to deliver multimedia content over a slow network.

In recent months NetSupport have also been working with major technology suppliers such as Microsoft, HP, WYSE and NComputing to enhance the accessibility of ICT within education.

At a time when budgets are coming under increasing scrutiny, thin and zero clients, shared-resource and virtual desktop technologies provide the next generation of affordable, robust and energy efficient computing models. NetSupport share the same philosophy as these industry leaders and have introduced specially optimised versions of NetSupport School to support these initiatives, ensuring schools continue to benefit from having access to best of breed yet affordable classroom management solutions.

The global appeal of these offerings has become apparent. Moscow High School #548 has installed a Windows MultiPoint Server (WMS) environment supported by NetSupport School and as Vice Principal Elena Shimutina explains, the product has introduced many time saving features.

 

She says:

 

‘Our Microsoft account manager suggested NetSupport School would be an ideal fit for our environment in terms of the overall feature set it provided and its compatibility with WMS. In the short time we have been using it, NetSupport School has quickly proved how adept it is at allowing the teachers to interact with the class. There are many time saving functions - we particularly like being able to automatically send and collect work files or quickly poll the class for instant feedback on a subject.’

The latest version of NetSupport School is available as a free update to existing maintained customers.
