Classroom Suite

  • What are the benefits of Classroom Suite Network with Web License?
    Classroom Suite Network with Web License (NT-WL) gives educators and administrators the ability to use Classroom Suite activities with a wide range of students from any classroom where students and teachers need to use the program. Sharing Classroom Suite with all students who require AT-supported instruction in the district significantly lowers per pupil instructional cost and improves outcomes of children who struggle most.

    Classroom Suite Network with Web License provides the flexibility to use Classroom Suite throughout a school or a district, including the ability to:
    • Centralize setup, administration, content creation, and reporting from all Network clients connected to a Network server:
      • Easily import lists of students, teachers, and classes
      • Easily import, publish and share activities
      • Run powerful student usage and performance reports.
      This allows usage and performance data to be centrally monitored by teachers and administrators. Results and reports can be shared with parents to review progress at IEP meetings. Data can also be imported into a district database.
    • Save on software costs. Pricing is based on simultaneous usage rather than the number of installed computers. Install it on as many computers as you want and the software accesses an available license via the web from any location. Consult your Sales Representative for help determining the right configuration for your school, district, or organization.
  • How does Classroom Suite Network with Web License work?
    In the simplest terms, Classroom Suite NT-WL software is installed on a networked school server with file sharing enabled and the licensing is handled over the web. Web Licensing makes it possible to manage the licenses across multiple locations. Internet access is required to access the Cambium license server. Since all licenses are tracked over the web, users never have to reallocate licenses from one location to another.

    The product is made up of three distinct software roles:
    Classroom Suite Network Server
    The Classroom Suite Network server location is installed to a shared network folder hosted on a school or district server (see details In Section 2). The Network server holds and shares all of the teachers, classes, students, activities, usage, and student performance data for all connected Classroom Suite Network clients.

    Classroom Suite Network Client
    The Classroom Suite Network client application is installed on a school computer (see details in Section 2). The Network client must connect to a Network server, where it reads/writes all of its data. Network clients obtain licenses from our Web server, respecting concurrent usage limits.

    Classroom Suite Take Home Client
    The Classroom Suite Take Home client allows teachers and students to use Classroom Suite on a school, personal or home computer with internet access but not connected to the school network. Take Home clients are "standalone" installations and do not connect to a Network server to store or share information. However, just like Network clients, Take Home clients obtain licenses through an internet connection from our Web server, respecting concurrent usage limits. Although called "Take Home," you can install Take Home clients on school computers if you do not choose to use a Network server.
