CrossTec Corporation New NetOp School 2.51 Software Enables Real-Time Broadcast of Multi-Media Content The new version of NetOp School once again sets new standards for computer-based teaching, and is now offering extended possibilities for sharing real-time multi-media content Boca Raton, FL - CrossTec Corporation (www.NetOpUSA.com), today announced the release of NetOp School 2.51. This version introduces new advanced functionality to its already highly acclaimed feature set. The most significant new feature enables an instructor to centrally control and synchronize local replay of media including sound using Windows Media Player. The media file can be replayed from either a shared or a local drive or from the Internet (URL). The complete action takes place right in front of the audience on their own PC monitors, and also includes remote users. NetOp School 2.51 offers teachers and corporate trainers a powerful combination of more than 15 essential tools for networked classroom instruction. First released in 1997, NetOp School enables a teacher, or corporate instructor, to increase student time-on-task by being able to monitor their PC activity while they work. Teachers can also enhance classroom interactivity with NetOp by broadcasting live demo screens to participants; mark-up the featured screen to highlight a lesson; create monitored chat rooms or allow students to request assistance from the instructor via an instant message button located on the student PC. NetOp School provides many other tools to help instructors multi-task their efforts including the ability to send coursework and files to all student PCs, remote control students for one-on-one instruction, shut down or restart student PCs and view their connected classroom in several different ways. NetOp School, which is used in more than 50 countries worldwide, continues to set new standards for computer-based instruction. With NetOp School v2.51 instructors now have even more options for instruction, supervision and support of their students within a networked classroom, library, computer lab or even, over an Internet or Intranet connection or with networked users who are seated at their individual workstations. NetOp School, which provides teachers with a powerful combination of essential tools for networked classroom instruction, won two prestigious awards in 2002. In May, the product was named winner of the Media and Methods Magazine Portfolio Award. It was also recently honored with the "Award of Excellence" from Technology and Learning Magazine, one of the education industry’s leading trade publications.
