Features and Benefits
Spend more time teaching and less time on everything else
Vision is your own personal classroom monitor. Keep an eye on everyone's work. Notice when someone's off task. Get everyone to the same place at the same time, so you can start the lesson. These are the tasks that good teaching depends on, but they take a lot of time and energy - and class time is limited. That's where Vision comes in.
Vision classroom computer management software lets you make the most of your time when integrating technology in the classroom. It gives you the tools you need to control sources of distraction, monitor student computers, get started without lost transition time and notice as soon as someone needs your help.
Supervise students' work
View an expandable thumbnail image of each student's screen on your computer, so you can follow their activities from your desk in real time.
Share your screen
Give your students a high-speed, full-screen view of your display while locking their keyboards and mice.
Control students' Internet use
Select which websites your class can view. Want to restrict sites, too? Vision Pro lets you customize every aspect of your students' Internet access.
Remote login
In single sign-in environments such as your library or computer lab, Vision Pro lets you sign in or out of multiple computers, all at the same time.
Showcase students' screens
Display what one student is doing on other students' computers: an excellent way to hold student demonstrations, presentations and spotlighting.
Launch applications
Open a file, application or website remotely, in one move, for the whole class at once: simultaneous application launch saves a lot of class time.
Operate computers remotely
Operate your students' computers without having to leave your desk. Help a student through a problem screen-to-screen, the moment you're needed.
Kiosk applications
Working in Kiosk mode, your students can't exit the applications you've launched, open anything else, access the desktop or restart their computers.
Blank student screens
Make classroom screens go blank in a click, locking students' keyboards and mice. Capture attention and stop all activity the instant you need to.

Chat with students
