Students’ take control!

New NetSupport School 5 allows students to take control of their own lessons!

With NetSupport School teachers have always been able to remote control student screens taking full charge of the lesson. Now with the new version teachers can delegate a pupil to take control and become a Group Leader from their workstation.

The Group Leader function enables the student to work within their teaching group as the teacher would, allowing them to divide up, watch, control, chat, message, send out and collect in work, show and exhibit to other workstations in their class.

Another new feature in NetSupport School 5 is Show Leader. Previously only the teacher could show their screen or exhibit somebody else’s screen to selected or all students. Now teachers’ can nominate a student as a Show Leader giving them temporary control of their screen with full annotate facilities allowing the student to interact within the presentation.

NetSupport School 5 has also enhanced its chat feature with a discussion box that enables selected or all students to chat.

A full list of features and evaluation copy is available from our website www.pcs.uk.com for download now!
