With this release Netop continues to expand the range of supported platforms and introduces a student module for Mac computers.
With students in class using Mac computers, teachers can do the following from their Windows teacher computer:

  • See thumbnails of the Mac student computers, similar to Windows student computers.
  • Use Demo to share their screen with the Mac student computers.
  • Use Live View to supervise a Mac student computer in a separate window.
  • Use Remote Control to assist a student using a Mac computer from their Windows teacher computer.
  • Use Blank Screen to disable keyboard and mouse and display a standard image on Mac student computers.
  • Use Lock Web to block web access on Mac student computers.
  • Use Block Input to disable keyboard and mouse on Mac student computers.

This is the first release of a student module for Mac; later releases will include more features and will also have support for Mac-only environments with a Vision / Vision Pro teacher module for Mac computers.
The Vision / Vision Pro Mac student module runs on Mac OS X version 10.8 Mountain Lion or later.
As a minor product update, version 8.6 is available for download to customers subscribing to the Netop Advantage Program.
