Danware, provider of the world`s most comprehensive computer-based teaching software, has announced the new NetOp School 4.0.
NetOp School is a powerful tool enabling teachers to monitor and control student PCs in a computer-equipped classroom environment. Teachers can simultaneously view multiple students screens as thumbnail images on a single screen or monitor and control students individually in real-time. And most importantly, it puts the teacher in control of the computer-based classroom, providing a number of tools that helps the teacher conduct effective teaching sessions.
Ighsaan Akoojee, Product Manager for NetOp School, explains: "NetOp School gives all students first-hand instruction and in effect, a front-row seat in the classroom. Teachers can choose to allow students to work independently while monitoring their individual progress. What`s more, using the Lock feature, teachers can be confident that they are always in control because they can obtain the immediate attention of the whole class at the click of a button, locking the mouse, screen and keyboard of every student in order to present new information or keep students on track. They can even control the students` use of applications and Internet."
NetOp School`s new integrated Test Centre facility provides teachers with a powerful tool for producing and administering tests and surveys over a network connection. Now teachers can generate tests from a variety of question types, including multiple choice, match text, match image, drop-down list, label image, ordering, essay and even text completion dictation. Additional configurations enable teachers to set time limits on questions, get real-time reporting, and even administer auto-scoring for immediate test results. Questions may also include information resources such as external Web links and files.
This dynamic educational tool is easy to set up and easy to learn, even for people who are less confident in front of a PC. Easy to use 1-2-3 Wizards provide simple instructions for walking users through the application`s many features.
NetOp School now has video streaming capabilities to enable teachers and students to view one another during audio or chat sessions. Now, with the use of a Webcam, networked classroom attendees can engage in video conferencing for remote training and distance learning implementations. Additionally, teachers now have the ability to take snapshots of their students` screens for later discussion or for reprimanding students for the improper use of their computers.
