Imperata is a new development in a wide range of our educational products. It is an application and activity control system for networked computer classrooms. Working on their screens with a clear and easy-to-use visual representation of the classroom workstations, teachers can initiate and control all instructional activities simply by clicking the icons of the respective workstations. Working in the Imperata environment you can open a particular program on all student computers with a click on the mouse and then, with a few more clicks, you can decide which documents can be used and run. You might continue by opening one media file to half of the class and another one to the other half. Not to mention that you can also lock and unlock any workstation at any time.
You can use Imperata for effective demonstration and instruction by broadcasting your screen to the class. You can teach by example - sharing a particular student's outstanding work with the rest of the students. All, with an easy point-and-click command. Imperata is the ultimate tool for efficient teaching in a computer classroom. Time and energy saved Teachers can save themselves a lot of frustration, valuable time and energy by taking advantage of Imperata's interactive user interface on their screens. No more running around the classroom opening and rebooting computers, running applications or trying to figure out what students are actually doing. You can easily monitor students' progress by viewing their screens on your monitor and even operate any student's PC for one-to-one instruction. Stay in control Imperata creates a unique foundation for multimedia interaction. Any subject can be brought into the realm of modern information technology with the teacher acting as tutor, resource and interactive supervisor. Learning within this sort of tutorial environment can be stimulating and productive even as control is maintained over students´ activities and over the timeallocated for tasks.
