Connect to Students using SIS mode

NetSupport School provides direct integration with SIS (Student Information Systems) using OneRoster or Google Classroom, allowing you to instantly access your SIS classrooms and student accounts at the start of a NetSupport School-managed lesson.

Note: The NetSupport Connectivity Server must be installed on a Windows Server to use this method.

Configuring the NetSupport Connectivity Server

  1. Right-click the NetSupport Connectivity Server icon in the system tray and select Configure Connectivity Server.

  2. Select the Classes tab. Enter your OneRoster Tenant ID and associated NetSupport School Security/API key, browse for OneRoster CSV files or if using Google Classroom, browse for the JSON file and sign into Google G Suite with administrator credentials (for information on how to set up a Google Classroom Project and create the required JSON files, see Integrating NetSupport School with Google Classroom).

    Note: A Connectivity Server key will need to be created and also entered at both the Tutor and Student.

  3. Open the NetSupport School Tutor and in the Class wizard, click Configure.

  4. In the Network and Wireless Settings, select Use Name & Connectivity Server, click Settings and enter the Connectivity Server IP address, port and key you created.

  5. Click OK.

Connecting to Students

  1. In the Class wizard, click Configure.

  2. In Student Selection, select Connect to SIS and select the required school name from the drop-down list.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Select the required teacher from the Teacher username drop-down list.

  5. A list of available classes will appear. Double-click the required class. If the displayed list contains duplicate or similarly named classes that makes it difficult to identify the required item, click the Details View button to see additional information. The class Location and Periods columns, if defined in your data, are imported.

  6. The Tutor browses for and connects to all Students found and display their icons in the Tutor Console.
