Mr. Clem Fucci wanted to train his manufacturing technology high school students to use AutoCAD AutoDesk Inventor. Instead, he was hampered by latent and choppy images in the software he was using to broadcast his demo computer screen to each student’s screen.

After switching his classrooms from NetOp School to CrossTec SchoolVue, Fucci, head of the manufacturing technology department of Westfield Vocational Technical High School in Westfield, Mass., was able to properly instruct his students.

“Because NetOp School was incompatible with the OpenGL graphics driver, the images broadcast to each student were choppy and latent,” said Fucci. “[After converting to CrossTec SchoolVue when I broadcast my screen to students’ computers, it’s instantaneous. When I simulate something on my machine, it’s very quick on the students’ machines. That wasn’t the case with NetOp.”

Instead of encountering technical problems as they did before the conversion, Fucci’s students can now focus on what’s important – learning.

“SchoolVue makes my life easier,” said Fucci. “It has definitely helped my job.”

In addition to broadcasting demos, SchoolVue offers instructors a wide array of features for education and classroom control. Instructors can record and play back screen sessions – even if the viewer does not have SchoolVue installed; monitor multiple students’ computers as they work; carry on bidirectional text or audio conversations and lectures; create, administer, monitor and automatically grade tests; remote control a student PC for one-on-one instruction and much more.

SchoolVue allows the instructor to gain full control of the classroom – and students’ attention – by restricting the use of applications and web sites during lessons. Additionally, instructors can record what applications students use and what Web sites they visit. SchoolVue also has enhanced technology to assure advanced stability in wireless environments.
