NetSupport School now includes full support for Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 (WMS) on NComputing’s award-winning virtual desktops. WMS is the newest Windows-based solution from Microsoft that uses a single host computer to power multiple simultaneous and independent user stations. Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 gives teachers and students the familiar Windows experience, allowing them to focus on teaching and learning the curriculum, not a new computer system.

The education that children receive in school can greatly impact whether or not they will succeed in life. And in today’s increasingly digital and connected world, knowing how to work with a computer is no longer a nice skill to have, but a requirement in almost any job. But between hardware and software costs, little to no IT budgets, and high energy prices, giving each student a computer to use is not always possible for schools.

Educators appreciate, and many advocate, the use of technology to improve teaching and learning. They understand that technology can help drive improvement in student achievement and they have looked to companies like NComputing and Microsoft to help make this technology accessible.

NComputing already has 15 million daily students around the world using their ultra low-cost virtual desktops. The NComputing solution stands out because the company is a single source for the thin-client device that allows each student to connect to the shared PC and the NComputing vSpace desktop virtualization software, which runs on top of server operating systems to deliver each user with a rich desktop experience.

And now there’s a way to get the power of computing into schools more quickly and affordably than ever:  Windows® MultiPoint™ Server 2010 and NComputing. NComputing offers three product lines that vary in how the clients connect to the shared PC. The X-series connect to a PCI card and offer the absolute lowest per-seat cost. The U-series bring USB plug-and-play simplicity, so they are the ultimate in ease to set up. And the L-series connect via Ethernet for the ultimate in enterprise and architectural flexibility. The entire NComputing line will work with WMS, with the U-series (U170) model being the first to support it.  The combined Microsoft WMS NComputing solution offers low acquisition costs, low total cost of ownership, a tremendous reduction in maintenance costs and PC obsolescence expenses, and is easy to set up and use. The combined solution gives educators the tools and technology they need to prepare their students for success.

NComputing, Windows® MultiPoint™ Server 2010 (WMS) and NetSupport School CCE reflect the same philosophy, namely to offer best-of-breed yet affordable technology, to enhance the accessibility of ICT within education, hence the development of NetSupport School CCE.  NetSupport School CCE enables schools, college and training institutions to maximise the return from their WMS deployment by 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.

Top 10 Ways NetSupport School CCE can help you:

1.   Record Student Attendance

Keep an accurate record of attendance, and a history of student Internet, application, instant messenger and keyboard activity during the lesson.

2.   Keep Students on Task and Avoid Distractions

Stop students from being distracted whilst you teach them and keep them on task by restricting access to certain websites and applications. If necessary stop students from using their computers altogether using the Lock Mouse and Keyboard feature.

3.   Launch Applications and Websites for Students

Save time by launching applications or websites simultaneously on all student desktops. You can also provide students with shortcuts to all of the documents, folders, applications and web content they may require during the lesson using the Student Information bar.

4.   Monitor in Real-time all Student Activity

See what students are doing using intuitive thumbnail views of each student computer. Screenshots of a student?s desktop can be captured to record their progress or highlight something that they should not be doing.

5.   Show Students you're Desktop, a video or an application

Demonstrate to students by showing them your screen, multimedia or highlight another students work by showing their screen to the rest of the class.

6.   Easily Share Content with Students

Simply drag and drop files or folders to the student's desktop or document libraries. Alternatively, handout and collect student work with each students completed work being organised in their own individual folder.

7.   Drive Down Costs by Managing and Controlling Printer Access

Save money and free up printing resources by controlling and monitoring printer usage, set thresholds and prevent students from sending duplicate output to the printer.

8.   Effectively Communicate with Students

Send students a message, chat with them discreetly or collaborate as a group. Students can also request help from the Tutor without alerting the rest of the class.

9.   Plan Lessons and Provide Effective End of Lesson Review

Plan lesson activities and provide students with a personalised journal summarising subject matter for future reference.

10. Question and Assess Students

Test students comprehension and understanding using a range of audio, visual and text based questions, tests are auto marked and the results can be displayed to students. Alternatively, use student surveys for instant feedback.
