Classroom Management™ with Vision
Vision is the easy-to-use classroom management software that empowers teachers and trainers to supervise and control student computer activity from the instructor’s computer screen.

TEACHING WITH VISION
Dashboard – New in Vision6
Vision's new dashboard provides teachers with a complete thumbnail view of every student computer in the classroom while offering intuitive and flexible controls from a clean, uncluttered window that is easy to customize.

Screen Sharing
Vision's Demo feature allows the teacher to share his or her desktop with an individual student, a group, or the entire class. Students can easily follow the demonstration regardless of where they are sitting in the classroom. The advanced screen sharing technology built into Vision provides real time viewing of the teacher's computer and eliminates annoying gaps in the presentation that can plague other screen sharing applications.

Floating Toolbar
Access Vision features from a simple floating toolbar on the teacher's computer that slides out of the way when not in use. This allows one-click access to Vision's most important functions and is customizable to fit each teacher's individual needs.

Virtual Teacher – New in Vision6
Share a student's computer desktop with the rest of the class. Students can demonstrate or present from their computers to the entire class and the teacher. The teacher designates which student is presenting and when the 'Virtual Teacher' starts and stops presenting.

Remote Control with Drag and Drop – New in Vision6
Teachers can drag and drop files from their computers and place a copy anywhere on the student's computer while using the Remote Control feature.

File Distribution and Collection

On-Screen Annotation

Audio
Vision's audio feature allows the addition of sound to computer-based teaching. The teacher can communicate directly to one or more students during a demo session using a microphone or have a two-way conversation during a remote control session. Demos incorporating multimedia files can transmit audio to students.

SUPERVISING WITH VISION
