1. The Power of "ITS" (Internet Tutor Server)

Perhaps the most significant architectural change in NetSupport School 15 is the introduction of the ITS (Internet Tutor Server).

• The Problem: Traditional classroom management requires students and teachers to be on the same local network (LAN).
• The NetSupport School 15 Solution: ITS bridges the gap between LAN and WAN. Teachers can now connect to students remotely from anywhere in the world.
• The Benefit: This is native support for hybrid learning. A teacher at home can lock screens, share their desktop, and monitor students inside a physical school building, or vice versa, without complex VPN setups.

Security & Privacy in v15

NetSupport School 15 includes a Privacy Mode that, when activated, disables remote viewing of a student’s screen without an explicit request (complying with FERPA and GDPR regulations). All communication between Tutor and Student stations is encrypted using AES-256. Teachers can also require student consent before being monitored.

Key New Features in Version 15

5. Improved Internet Meter & Distraction Prevention

We all know the "alt-tab" dance. Version 15 introduces Application and Web History Gauges. A small thermometer-style icon sits in the teacher console, turning from green to red if a student is spending too much time on non-approved gaming or social media sites. It turns discipline from a confrontation into a data point.
