Computer Lab Solutions

Introduction

The SmartClass family of computer classroom management systems has been developed to meet the pedagogical needs of instructors, the technical requirements of school IT departments, and the cost-benefit needs of school and business administrators.

The new SmartClass+ platform provides complete configuration flexibility for integrating with virtually any teaching environment - from a simple computer lab to a high-performance CAD lab to a multimedia language lab.

Instructors who are teaching in computer labs and classrooms need to be equipped with a specialized set of tools that help manage student computers and focus student attention.
