NetOp School new version 5.0

Improved Test Center Feature Allows Teachers to Customize Test to Match Curriculum.

Copenhagen, May 30, 2006 – Danish software specialist Danware today launched NetOp 5.0 its latest software package for teaching in network-based classrooms. NetOp School 5.0. improves teachers’ ability to keep the students on track and to conduct comprehensive and relevant tests.

NetOp School enables the teacher to monitor the individual student’s activities and to broadcast the teacher’s or the student’s screen image on all computers in the classroom – simultaneously. If a student uses programs or internet pages other than those relevant for the lesson, the teacher can immediately close, hide or deny access to the program or pages in question.

”User-friendly NetOp School 5.0 is designed to give teachers the tools they need – from preparation to evaluation – to improve the ability of students to learn in a network-based classroom.” said Peter Grondahl, CEO at Danware A/S. “This software is equally valuable in a school classroom or a corporate training facility.

NetOp School was designed and developed in close collaboration with professional teachers, and the installation takes just a few minutes. The program requires no extra hardware.

Advanced test center makes managing tests easier than ever
The improved test center feature allows the teacher to customize tests in an easy and user-friendly manner so they match the curriculum being taught.

”The test center provides teachers with many opportunities to manage advanced testing of student performance.” said Ole Haag, product manager of NetOp School. “Teachers can choose among 10 different types of questions and determine, among other things, the weight of the individual test questions in relation to the total result. Specific questions can also be given a negative score if the answers are wrong or if the student doesn’t provide an answer.”
Danware has designed NetOp School 5.0 to optimally benefit both teachers and students. Students can easily switch from one teaching session to another and audio and video images can be transferred between monitors.

Also, NetOp School 5.0 is suitable for multi-monitor classrooms as screen images are transferred on a one-to-one basis.

Educational IT improves students’ performances
Computer-based classrooms have been shown to have a positive impact on student performance, according to a study of 8,000 persons in the Nordic ministries of education, conducted by Danish consultancy firm Ramboll Management.

“Three out of four teachers in Nordic countries indicated that computer-based classrooms have a great or moderately positive impact on the learning process.” said Sanya Gertsen Pedersen, Project Manager from Ramboll Management. “Teachers report improved academic performances and enhanced student creativity when computers are used in the teaching process.”

Today NetOp School is used in more than 80 countries worldwide, and the program is the preferred teaching tool in several major educational institutions and private companies.
