CrossTec Corporation NetOp School Adds Speed and Enhancements to Award-Winning Interactive Classroom Solution The fastest gets even faster for recent School and CrossCARE customers Boca Raton, FL - CrossTec Corporation (www.NetOpUSA.com) has announced that NetOp School v2.5 has just gotten even faster, and this upgrade comes at no cost to current v2.5 license holders or customers who purchased NetOp School CrossCARE software maintenance. This newest build modifies NetOp School v2.5, America’s leading network tool for supervision and instruction, and enables it to display rapidly changing screens even faster then before. This will improve the ability for educators to give demos, use animated features, PowerPoint slide shows, and graphics at an accelerated speed. While many software vendors would charge for such a release as an upgrade version, the new speed modifications, along with other minor product changes, are free to NetOp v2.5 customers. Previous customers who purchased CrossCARE software maintenance will also be able to take advantage of the new build level. According to Jeff Bowser, CrossTec’s VP of Technical Services, “We are pleased to provide the new speed and enhancements for free to current customers, a service that our CrossCARE customers have come to appreciate and expect.” NetOp School v2.5 customers can download the new build from CrossTec’s web site at www.NetOpUSA.com. "NetOp School's new build level release really demonstrates CrossTec’s commitment to their products. Not only does this free update to version 2.5 include improvements in the software, but it also includes a few completely new features in addition to a very nice performance enhancement for graphic intensive situations,” said Jeff NetOp School, which is used in more than 50 countries worldwide, once again sets new standards for teaching with technology. With NetOp School v2.5 instructors now have even more options for instruction, supervision and support of their students within a networked classroom, library, computer lab, over an Internet or Intranet connection or with networked users who are seated at their individual workstations. 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 send private questions via an instant message button located on 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 PCs and view their connected classroom in several different ways. NetOp School works without any additional hardware, projection system or classroom redesign and installs in less than two minutes. NetOp User Elaine Johnson, who teaches Computer Aided Drafting classes says, “NetOp is the answer for so many people, and I believe in the product and that it is the future for extended learning. We had to do a classroom change in the middle of the semester and move to a different building, our students were devastated throughout the period of time we did not use NetOp, they love it.” NetOp School 2.5 runs on Windows platforms such as Windows XP, 2000, NT, ME, and 95/98 along with Windows Terminal Server 2000/NT4. The program supports popular network protocols NetBIOS, IPX and TCP/IP. NetOp School 2.5 is provided on a CD-ROM with language versions in English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch and Danish. NetOp School classroom packages are available at prices starting at $639. NetOp products, along with no-charge, toll-free technical support, are available throughout North America directly from the CrossTec Corporation or through our exclusive network of authorized resellers.
