CrossTec SchoolVue classroom software Benefits
Increase Student Time-On-Task
CrossTec SchoolVue enables teachers to monitor and control every student’s computer activity from the convenience of their own PC. With CrossTec SchoolVue classroom software, teachers know exactly what every student is working on. Using CrossTec SchoolVue’s Thumbnail View a teacher can monitor the desktop of every student’s computer, all on one screen. For a closer look - just mouse over any student Thumbnail for an enlarged view. To focus student attention, you can lock their keyboard and mouse during lectures or screen demonstrations.
Policy Control
CrossTec SchoolVue enables teachers to allow or deny the use of selected applications and websites on student computers by creating administrative policies unique to their educational curriculum. This way, you can rest assured that your students aren’t wasting class time on games, emails or the Internet.
Enhance Classroom Interaction & Feedback
CrossTec SchoolVue’s Broadcast feature enables a teacher to broadcast their screen or a student’s screen to one student or the entire classroom for detailed instruction and examples. You can also record demonstrations for later playback - even by students at home. If a student needs assistance, simply take control of their computer with your own keyboard and mouse, just as if you were seated next to them, for one-on-one instruction or send them a private instant message. CrossTec SchoolVue’s Test Center utility is a student response system which offers a very powerful tool for creating a multitude of tests, quizzes and survey questions so you can see in an instant if students comprehend a lesson.
Engage Your Students
With CrossTec SchoolVue’s ‘Show Leader’ feature, a teacher can pass off control of the broadcasted demonstration screen to students to enable them to collaborate on a demo session. CrossTec SchoolVue also includes an Interactive White Board feature and a useful Co-Browse option where a teacher can launch a web page on student PCs, show them particular items and leave them to work on the web site themselves.
Easily Multi-Task Your Efforts
CrossTec SchoolVue classroom software enables teachers to take complete control of every computer in their networked classroom - load applications, reboot, log-on or log-out of Windows and even shut down PCs. Teachers can also distribute, launch, and control multi-media files - all from the comfort their PC. Plus, CrossTec SchoolVue enables you to create interactive lesson plans with links to multi-media files, URLs and demonstrations.

Control Printer Costs
Save money on printer consumables by metering printer use. Control which printers students can use, how many copies they can print and more. SchoolVue even provides you with a report of printer usage.
Create & Grade Tests
Design tests with a minimum of effort. CrossTec SchoolVue incorporates a full Test Designer allowing a Tutor to set customised tests including text, picture, audio and video questions. A choice of 12+ question styles are available. The methodology used in SchoolVue allows a Teacher to create in minutes a structured and fully featured test. This can then be distributed in real-time to all of your selected Students and you can then watch as each student progresses through the test.
Control which applications and web sites students can use.
SchoolVue lets you restrict web sites and applications that students may visit or use. Create a white list of exactly which applications you want students to launch and which web sites they may visit. You can even block certain web pages within an allowed web site.
Log which applications and web sites were used.
After class you can capture a list of web sites and applications accessed, when launched and how long they were on each.
