School 15 New — Netsupport

NetSupport School 15 introduces a modern, redesigned user interface featuring a ribbon bar for easier navigation, aimed at boosting productivity for teachers and IT technicians. The update focuses on enhancing engagement, strengthening student monitoring, and optimizing classroom technology management. Key New Features and Enhancements in Version 15:

Modernized Interface: The Tutor Console has been overhauled to include a ribbon interface, making it more user-friendly.

Updated Technicians' Console: IT teams gain a new "Quick search" function to locate devices by name, IP address, or application.

Advanced Testing Tools: A new "Highlight text" question type allows teachers to create more challenging assessments where students must pick the correct part of a text.

Enhanced Student Support: When viewing a student's screen, the chat function now brings that specific conversation into the foreground. Teachers can also "Show" their screen to a single student for one-on-one help.

Improved Content Control: The "Stop Student" feature has been added to allow technicians to temporarily stop the client service on specific machines, and web filtering in Microsoft Edge is now faster.

Enhanced Security: The Chrome Student component now complies with Manifest v3 standards, requiring at least ChromeOS 99.

Compatibility: Added support for macOS Sequoia and Android 7.0 or later (SDK 34).

Better Organization: Student help requests are now automatically ordered by time to help teachers prioritize support. Core Functionality Supported in v15: New version of NetSupport School out now!

Modernized User Interface: A brand-new ribbon bar interface replaces traditional menus and toolbars, making it faster for teachers to find features and complete tasks without extra steps.

Enhanced Student Monitoring: Teachers can now switch between multiple student monitors or view the entire desktop. Teachers also have the new ability to blank individual screens rather than just the entire class.

New Assessment Tools: The testing tool includes a new "Highlight Text" question type where students must identify specific words in a statement.

Clickable URLs: When a teacher sends a message to students, any included URLs are now clickable links, directing students instantly to the correct resources.

Energy and Power Management: In addition to standard power-on/off, teachers can now remotely power off student PCs that are not logged on, helping to reduce school energy costs.

Updated Tech Console: The technician's console also features the new ribbon UI and a Quick Search function to find students or teachers by username, IP address, or active application. Additional Enhancements New features - NetSupport School

User Interface: Two Steps Forward, One Side-Step

The Good: The new ribbon toolbar is customizable. You can pin your top 5 actions (e.g., "Block Web," "Ask Question"). Dark mode is a lifesaver for afternoon classes.

The Mixed: The sheer number of buttons can overwhelm new teachers. There are 15+ icons just for the "Internet Control" sub-menu. NetSupport includes a "Basic Mode" toggle, but most users don't find it until week two. A more aggressive simplification wizard for first-time setup would help.

1. The "Hybrid" Reality Check

The most compelling feature of version 15 is how it handles the fragmentation of devices. In the past, a teacher might see a list of PCs in a specific room. NetSupport School 15 introduces enhanced Location Detection. NetSupport School 15 introduces a modern, redesigned user

The software doesn't just see "devices"; it sees "students." Whether a student is logged into a dedicated desktop PC, using a school-issued Chromebook, or connecting from home on a personal tablet, the teacher sees them in a single, unified class list. This effectively bridges the gap between remote learners and in-class students, allowing the teacher to interact with both groups simultaneously without juggling different software interfaces.

5. The "Student Journal" – The Digital Backpack

Perhaps the most useful feature for students is the automated Student Journal.

At the end of a lesson, the teacher can publish a "Journal" that automatically collects everything that happened during the session:

This creates a PDF dossier of the lesson. For a student who missed class, or one who struggles with note-taking, this is a lifesaver. It essentially creates a "replay" file of the entire learning period.

Key Features & Improvements

Intro (1–2 sentences)

NetSupport School 15 brings a suite of updates designed to streamline teacher workflows, boost student engagement, and simplify device management in modern classrooms — whether in-person, remote, or hybrid.

9. iOS Screen Mirroring without AirPlay

Apple's AirPlay often fails on locked-down school networks. NetSupport School 15 introduces a proprietary screen capture driver for iOS.

Part 5: NetSupport DNA Integration – The IT Manager’s Dream

For years, schools had to buy NetSupport School for teachers and NetSupport DNA for IT technicians. Version 15 merges the core DNA console into the School license (at no extra cost for existing DNA users).
