Collaborate

Virtual Whiteboard
NetSupport School features a full page Whiteboard integrated directly within the Tutor console supported with a wealth of drawing tools for improved collaboration within the classroom.

The Whiteboard feature also allows a Teacher to add content before making it available to the rest of the class, and can simply "toggle" access and visibility. At any point a Tutor can pass control to a selected Student to allow them to collaborate and add content to the active session.

Internet Co-Browse
New to NetSupport School is a full internet Co-Browse feature. This allows a Teacher to open selected websites and synchronise this with the browser on each Student PC. As a Teacher navigates across a website the Student PCs will follow, even scrolling down on a specific page in sequence with the Tutor.

Once the Tutor has opened the desired pages these can be left available to the Students as information Tabs, and they can be left to review the content without access to any additional websites.

Group Leaders
Recognising that Students work at different speeds, NetSupport School encourages group work where a nominated Student can be assigned certain Tutor rights and act as a Group Leader until such privileges are revoked. All features provided to the Group Leader can be customised to meet the needs of the working session.

Group or 1:1 Chat
Open a discussion session that all or selected Students can join, enter their comments and share with the rest of the class: Ideal for conducting class or limited group forums. During this Chat session, an interactive Whiteboard is available to improve understanding. Chat sessions also feature full bi-directional audio support.

Audio
Broadcast Audio to the class or transmit the Tutor's voice during a presentation. Audio transmitted during a live presentation is also saved, when selected, in a replay file. The Replay file allows a Student to review a screen presentation at their leisure with the accompanying Teachers explanation. Audio support is included in all Show Screen, Remote Control and Chat sessions.

Exhibit (Student Screen)
In addition to showing a Teachers screen to the rest of the class, NetSupport School also allows a Teacher to select a Students computer and broadcast their screen to the rest of the class. Perfect for highlighting coursework or sharing Student feedback.

Student Information Bar.
NetSupport School now features a Student Information bar, neatly located at the top of each Student Screen. This can be set to be always visible or to auto-hide.

The information bar provides feedback to the student on the current lesson, time remaining, current websites and applications that are available, the status of messenger and keyboard monitoring and quick access to request help.
