Net Control 2 Pro:

Net Control 2 Professional Edition offers the most complete set of features for teaching, controlling, monitoring and communication to organize an effective educational process in computer classes. Specially designed for teachers and with participation of teachers, to make the education process easier and more effective. The software is used in thousands of schools, colleges, universities and libraries in more than 100 countries around the world.

The special version for large networks that contain many classes or groups of students. For this edition, we offer special licensing terms adapted for the large number of the computers served. Professional edition standard licenses are available in packs for 100, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 computers, with a low average license cost per computer.

Professional Edition provides centralized management of settings, lists of teachers, students and classrooms (groups), the common workspace that is available for all teachers in the network. Enhanced user privileges and access control. Improved support of BYOD and 1:1 models. Integration with Active Directory services. Adapted for easy use in multi-VLAN network environments.

WHAT EDITION TO CHOOSE:
PROFESSIONAL or CLASSROOM?

PROFESSIONAL EDITION:

  • Professional Edition suits better for cases when each teacher should have access to multiple classes, or if each student may belong to more than 5-10 classes or be connected to more than 5-10 different teachers.
  • Provides centralized management of groups and connections. All group and access information is stored and managed on a special "server" computer in the network (Connection Server) and is available for all teachers, who have access to the server.
  • Easily supports multi-VLAN network environments, just if a network connection between the VLANs is present. There are no design limitations for the number of students that may be connected to one teacher, or for a number of groups available for teachers. They are only limited by the bounds of your license.
  • Improved integration with Active Directory services: groups and connections can be imported from AD Organization Units, teachers can use a Windows/AD login to access Net Control 2 Connection Server.
  • The layered structure of groups/classes is available, groups may be placed into other groups (containers)
  • Optionally, teachers may be allowed to modify users in their groups (add or copy new connections from other groups).
  • Improved support of one-to-one or BYOD environments: students can choose teachers from a list of available teachers and connect them automatically.
  • Individual access privileges for groups and teachers. The administrator may limit access of teachers to groups (classrooms), assigning the necessary access privileges for each group and teacher.
  • A group may contain users, referenced by their login name. In this case the user will be assigned to the group regardless of which the physical computer s/he is logged in.
  • The features of the teacher console may be limited for particular teachers with View profiles. For example, an administrator can prevent ordinary teachers from managing programs on student computers or changing settings. The profile will be in effect for any computer, where this teacher is logged in.

STANDARD EDITION:

  • Classroom Edition suits better for separate classrooms that consist of a fixed set of computers, or when it is assumed that a student is connecting to just a limited number of teachers (up to 10). Classroom Edition would be just a bit easier in primary configuration in this case.
  • Settings, profiles and a list of groups and connections (the workspace) are stored on each teacher computer locally. Each teacher computer has its own configuration and does not depend on other teacher computers. Particulary, with Classroom edition, you need to setup and configure every teacher computer separately.
  • With Classroom Edition, you should configure each student computer to connect one or more fixed, pre-configured teacher computers. For the better performance, we do not recommend connecting in this way more than 10 teacher computers from one student machine.
  • Just like the Professional Edition, Net Control ² Classroom supports centralized deployment of teacher and student components through Active Directory Group Policies or scripts.
  • Teachers can work with several groups of students (classrooms), each group consists of multiple student computers referenced by an IP address or a computer name.
  • Features of the teacher console may be limited with View profiles. The administrator can prevent teachers from accessing particular features, e.g. manage programs or changing settings. The profile will be stored on the teacher computer, and will be in effect for all teachers of this teacher computer only.
