Delivering “germ-free” CAD/CAM instruction with NetSupport School
A new case study from a non-profit organisation highlights how NetSupport School is transforming technical education in engineering and 3D design. By managing 42 Windows 11 devices across two specialised classrooms, the organisation’s instructor is able to provide high-level training in complex software like Rhino 3D and ZBrush.
Beyond standard monitoring
While the instructor initially sought a reliable networking system for computer classes, they found that NetSupport School offered “more functionality than imagined”. The software is primarily used to monitor students as they learn Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM).
Top features for technical labs
The instructor identified several key tools that have become essential to their daily teaching:
- “Germ-free” assistance: The ability to show students how to perform tasks without physically touching their mouse or keyboard was praised as a sanitary and efficient way to provide one-on-one help.
- Audio control: To maintain a focused environment during lab time, the instructor uses the software to mute the speakers of students listening to music too loudly.
- Reliable support: The organisation highlighted NetSupport’s tech support team for their consistent help with everything from instructor training to resolving IT infrastructure issues.
A reliable solution for modern classrooms
Summarising the impact of the software, the instructor noted that NetSupport School “considers everything” and provides a dependable foundation for specialised computer-based learning.
