TODAY, MORE THAN EVER, SCHOOLS ARE FOCUSED ON IMPROVING STUDENT PERFORMANCE USING A VARIETY OF METHODS. RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT STUDENTS ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL AND HAVE INCREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM WHEN TECHNOLOGY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE CLASSROOM. THIS IS CRITICAL AS SCHOOLS FACE INCREASING PRESSURE FROM PARENTS AND GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE PERFORMANCE ON STATE AND NATIONAL TESTS.

Altiris Vision is a powerful, easy-to-use software solution designed to help teachers manage their classrooms more effectively and enhance student learning. Vision allows a teacher to share any computer screen, supervise other computers, chat, and take remote control of their studentsÕ PCs. Regardless of your needs, you'll find all the essential tools in this integrated solution that needs no additional hardware to operate.

Demo

Teachers often struggle to capture a student's attention. Vision allows a teacher to blank all computer screens at any time, with a personalized message directed to the students. A teacher is also able to project their screen to a particular student or an entire class. In window mode, student's receive the presentation in a window that can be resized, moved or minimized, allowing your students to work along as you teach. In full screen mode, studentsÕ keyboards and mice are locked to ensure student attention.

Supervise

With the use of computers in the classroom, student's are able to play computer games and surf the Internet without the teacher knowing. Vision allows a teacher to ensure a student focuses on their assigned work instead of playing on the computer. A teacher is able to cycle through student's screens to monitor progress or free-time activities. If a student is playing games or surfing the net to inappropriate sites, a teacher is able to take a screenshot of the student's screen and capture what they are doing without the student knowing. These screenshots can be saved to a file in the screenshot gallery for later use if needed.

Remote Control

Many students are afraid to raise their hand and risk embarassment in front of their friends. Student's have the option to request a chat with the teacher without anyone knowing. This allows a teacher to be aware of a student's need, and the teacher can take remote control of their PC to help them work through a problem. Also, if a student is doing well, a teacher is able to project their screen to others in the class to help demonstrate how to work the problem correctly.

Hilighter

Draw attention to your presentation with more than 20 HiLighter tools that allow a teacher to show points of interest on the screen using bullets, arrows, a spotlight, clipart, zoom, and much more.

Class Chat

Ensure student participation by moderating chat sessions throughout the classroom. This utility allows students to collaborate on projects and request help from the teacher from the security of their desk. Teachers can proactively help students without leaving their desk and without disturbing other students. Because Altiris Vision requires no additional hardware, it doesn't require any cables or add other complexity to your classroom, and it costs less to maintain. Altiris Vision supports up to 50 computers per classroom, and delivers great performance on LANs of any speed. Altiris Vision supports Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and Me.
