Instructors: Retain maximum control and deliver total interaction:
Deliver Surveys, create structured pre-prepared lesson plans, conduct real-time tests, co-browse specified websites with all particpants and much more..
Participants: An immersive learning experience:

NetSupport Notify is a specially developed solution allowing instant and reliable delivery of notifications and alerts across a LAN or WAN.
The philosophy of NetSupport Notify is to provide a simple and effective solution to allow administrators within an organisation to reliably deliver key notifications to staff and pupils across an enterprise without concern for network topology and to provide accurate records of message delivery and acknowledgement.
Unlike typical LAN-based messaging solutions, NetSupport Notify provides a dedicated Notification Gateway(s) that allow seamless message delivery across multiple network segments or dispersed sites without the need for network modifications or switch configuration. NetSupport Notify is a true mass notification system.
NetSupport Notify allows an administrator to deliver within seconds a clear and concise message and instruction to all connected computers across a campus. Each message can carry a priority level and a request for acknowledgement.
The delivered message automatically takes screen focus on recipient computers and can be accompanied by an audible alert. In addition, all delivered messages are recorded in the system event log, registering both the time the message was delivered and acknowledged by the user.
NetSupport Notify provides an extra level of security within an education establishment or campus for both critical security alerts as well as routine student communication.
NetSupport Notify provides a low-cost, high-speed notification system allowing messages and alerts to be delivered instantly to all computer users while removing the potential delays experienced with emails entering an already busy In Box.
For some organisations, NetSupport Notify also provides a welcome backup for existing technology failures, such as email, and an effective tool for delivering staff alerts and guidance, such as "the mail server will be off at 5pm" or "we are experiencing difficulties with our file server".
NetSupport Notify guarantees user attention by delivering an audible alert with each message received and taking foreground position on a users desktop. With its notification gateway component, a single message can be delivered to staff across many sites or locations in a single action, again with full delivery/receipt logging.
Features of "NetSupport Notify":
· Notification gateway for delivery of messages across multiple subnets
· No need for router changes or support for broadcast UDP
· Prioritise messages and alerts with clear and concise message types (eg, message, alert and critical)
· Send alerts to one or multiple Notification gateways simultaneously
· Supports unlimited number of connected user desktops
· Audit log of message receipt and acknowledgement
· Audible alerts
· Easy to install with MSI installer
· Enterprise installation utilising supplied deployment utility or Active Directory
· Available in a range of localised languages
· Notification Server redundancy
· Unique Security codes - limiting access to only authorised Agents and Consoles.
· Integrate within existing systems via the supplied browser based notification Console.
Limitations:
· 30 days trial
