Easy mode

NetSupport School provides three modes for viewing the user interface: advanced, intermediate and easy. Advanced mode provides full access to all of NetSupport School's features and functions. Intermediate mode provides access to the primary features and frequently used functions. Easy mode provides access to a focused set of classroom management features needed to maintain control over a class.
