Vision for Mac OS X Released
MasterSolution introduces the first cross-platform classroom
management tool for school computers. Vision for Macintosh
OS X includes the same easy to use features found in the
popular Windows version. With Vision, educators can monitor
all student computer activity from their desktop, demo their
computer screen to student screens, lock student keyboards
and mice, take remote control of a student computer and
utilize several additional features to improve computer
based teaching
These powerful features guarantee that educators, librarians,
and technology coordinators have complete desktop control
of their computer classroom ensuring students stay on task,
are using the computer appropriately and can easily follow
any lesson being taught. This makes Vision particularly
useful for computer-based instruction and training, and
is often viewed as a must have application by educators
advocating the effective use of technology in the classroom.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to extend Vision’s
teaching tools to the Macintosh platform," said Peter
Schuepbach, MasterSolution CEO. "Educators have been
asking for better teaching tools on the Macintosh and with
the release of Vision for Macintosh OS X we are answering
that call. This is the first of many new products we anticipate
releasing in the coming months to help empower educators
in the use of technology in the classroom.”
Innovative Plug-in technology
In addition to the supervision, screen sharing and control
features in Vision that educators count on to guide classroom
computer activity, additional software plug-ins can be installed
to extend the core functionality. Plug-ins currently available
for Vision include Surf-Lock, the incredibly popular ‘one-click’
web blocking tool that lets teachers turn Web surfing on
or off during instructional periods and the equally popular
on-screen annotation tool MasterPointer, with over 20 highlighters,
arrows and spotlights which can be used to focus attention
to a particular area of a presentation or enhance an on
screen lesson.
Vision is a favorite among educators because it brings an
element of control back into the computerized classroom
while at the same time offering easy to use features to
facilitate student/teacher interaction. With the added support
of the Mac OS X platform a completely new group of educators
will be able to enjoy the benefits Windows users have experienced
using Vision in the classroom.
