NKUL is Norway’s premier education technology conference and exhibition and the 2010 event recently held in Trondheim has certainly maintained that status.

Educators from across the region come to NKUL to see the latest ICT innovations and with technology playing an ever-increasing part in Norwegian schools there was plenty of interest in the vast array of hardware and software solutions on offer.

NetSupport’s Norwegian partners COMMAXX and Aktiv IKT were on hand to showcase the latest enhancements to the company’s range of Desktop Management and Support solutions and as Product Manager Lars Petter Lilleng explained, a large number of visitors were particularly keen to take a look at NetSupport School; “With computers now playing such a vital role in day-to-day teaching, many ICT teachers are starting to see the benefits of using Classroom Management software to help them deliver more effective computer led lessons and NetSupport School is the market leader. Our live demos proved very popular and this gave us the ideal platform to show teaching professionals how the product can be easily integrated into their lessons.”

“NetSupport School also has the added advantage that it is compatible with the Wyse Streaming Manager (WSM) networks that are becoming so popular in Norwegian schools and this was another area of interest for visitors looking for a cost effective computing model. Wyse Technology is the global leader in thin computing and their solutions are widely deployed in Norwegian educational institutions. Wyse WSM uses small, silent, energy efficient, zero client computers to provide full PC functionality but at a fraction of the cost of the traditional one-to-one computing setup. Wyse WSM and NetSupport School together create an optimised classroom learning environment that works first time, every time, and helps keep students on-task.”
