NetSupport School Student for Android/iOS

For installation on any Android tablet or iOS device*, NetSupport School Student for Android and iOS gives teachers the power to connect to each student in a NetSupport School-managed classroom**, enabling real-time interaction and support.

Key features:

• Student Register: The teacher can request standard and/or custom information from each student at the start of each class and create a detailed register from the information provided.
• Connecting to Students: The teacher can either browse for students (from their desktop application) or allow students to connect directly to the relevant class from their Android or iOS device.
• Lesson Objectives: If provided by the teacher, once connected, students are presented with details of the current lesson, together with overall objectives and their expected learning outcomes.
