NetOp Instruct is a computer-based training tool with a host of uses that will enable you to nurture and maximize the potential of your most important asset – your work force.

NetOp Instruct brings a complete, computerized training solution to the corporate network. Broadcast your screen, let attendees share screens to collaborate on common documents, lend a hand where and when it’s needed, and create and perform regular tests with immediate individual feedback.

Instructing today’s computer literate employees using conventional teaching tools can be challenging for even the most experienced instructor. Boards and projectors are simply not adequate for subjects where hands-on experience is the best option. Fortunately there’s an economical and effective answer at hand – NetOp Instruct training software for the corporate network. NetOp Instruct lets instructors form specific training groups (classes) on the network, where they can broadcast their screen (or any attendee's screen) to every PC in the group simultaneously. This, in effect, gives all attendees a front-row seat and first-hand instruction as well as a flexible collaboration tool.

Furthermore, NetOp Instruct is packed with scores of user friendly features to help you manage your class on the network and assist attendees effectively. NetOp Instruct includes a state-of-the-art Test Center that lets you carry out online tests at the touch of a button, if you need to verify that your message came through.

If you're still using 20th-century instruction tools for a 21st-century class, perhaps it's time you took a lesson from NetOp Instruct – for your own sake as well as that of your attendees.

In short, NetOp Instruct:

• Lets instructors show any screen in real-time to all attendees

NetOp Instruct helps you manage your computer-based training effectively. Whether used in traditional computerized classrooms, or directly on the corporate network, NetOp Instruct offers instructors powerful tools for computerized class instruction.

Demonstrate

With NetOp Instruct you can instruct each attendee individually, yet simultaneously. By broadcasting your or any screen to the rest of the class, each attendee effectively receives a front row seat and first-hand instruction. And you don’t have to worry about attendees paying attention. NetOp Instruct optionally allows you to lock attendee keyboards and mice during demonsration.

Share

NetOp Instruct is ideal for collaboration across the network. Forget the hassle of moving around – share individual team members’ screens and documents all together. NetOp Instruct allows you to collaborate on common documents by passing control of each individaul computer to other members of the group. On top of that, files may quickly and easily be distributed to all computers of the group.

Assess

With NetOp Instruct’s powerful Test Center appraising attendees online is easier and more accurate than ever. Rapidly prepare exams using the module’s Wizard and choose from 10 different question types. Distribute a test to all attendees simultaneously at the touch of a button. Finally, correct and score tests automatically for convenience and speed. You can even generate electronic reports on each attendee's performance, enabling immediate individual feedback.

Communicate

Initiate online written or oral discussions supported by video stream from webcams. It is possible to hold multiple text chats and save the dialogs, and to send instant messages to all, including links to websites.

• Audio/video Chat
• One-to-one (open discussions, both video streams)
• Many-to-many (moderated discussions, one-by-one, video stream from speaker)
