Tutor Profiles
NetSupport School allows you to set up multiple Tutor Profiles for
different Control users, each with a pre-defined set of options. On starting
the Tutor program, if multiple profiles have been created a dialog is
displayed that allows the user to select which profile to use.
The main benefit of creating a profile is to
be able to store ready-made
lists of approved/restricted applications, websites
and keywords rather
than have the user create these at the start of each lesson.
Having created your Application, Website or Word list, as detailed in the
Web Control, Application Control and Keyboard Monitoring sections, the
files can then be added to a Tutor Profile.
Note: As
well as Website, Application and keyword lists,
other areas of
the program that can be profiled are Layouts,
Student Surveys,
Client lists, Group lists, the location for storing test results, exams
and Class lists.
To create a Tutor Profile
1. Create the files, containing details of approved/restricted websites,
applications etc that are to be included in the profile.
2. Choose {School}{Configuration}{Administration – Profile} from the
Control window drop-down menu. The list of existing Tutor Profiles
will appear, NetSupport School is the default.
3.
To create a new profile, select
Add. The Create New Configuration
dialog will appear.
4. Enter a name for the profile. Functionality for the profile can be
‘copied from’ an existing Tutor configuration, the default NetSupport
School or a user defined profile. Click
OK. The name will be added to
the profile list.
5. To change the content of the profile, click
Edit. The File Locations
dialog will appear.
6. In each category, select the file to be used in the profile. The Folder
locations dialog allows you to change where items are located.
7. Click
OK.
Each time the Tutor program is started, the user will be presented with a
list of locally stored Profiles to choose from. Should you wish to share
Profiles across a network, the /R command line instruction can be used to
launch the Tutor program with a centrally available profile.
