DyKnow Monitor Product Benefits

DyKnow Monitor makes teachers more comfortable with technology.

Using DyKnow Monitor, teachers no longer need to worry about the electronic distraction associated with computers in the classroom. Teachers can easily view thumbnails of student screens to make sure each student is on task. If it appears they are not, a simple click freezes the student screen and sends an attention-getting message. In addition, features like application blocking and URL filtering allow teachers to block programs or websites they don't want used in class, and at the same time, allow the ones that will support the learning process.

Students are kept on task.

No instant messaging. No e-mails to friends. No working on a project for another class. DyKnow Monitor allows teachers to ensure that computers and software are being used as learning tools and not as distractions. As one teacher said, "My students know they are being monitored. They know I can see and control everything they're doing on their computer. The temptation just isn't there anymore."

Teachers can leverage the power of the Internet and other programs, without allowing those that can distract.

Internet access provides up-to-the-minute information that can be valuable to augment textbook or class content. However, the Internet and instant messaging programs can also be a distraction to student learning. With DyKnow Monitor, teachers can choose which websites and programs to allow or which to block. The class benefits from the power of the internet, without it taking away from the learning process.

DyKnow Monitor is scalable.

DyKnow Monitor, and its partner product DyKnow Vision, are designed with a client-server design. This means DyKnow software can scale from a few users to hundreds of users without an interruption in usage. 

There is no need to change wireless infrastructure.

DyKnow Monitor and DyKnow Vision are optimized in both wired and wireless environments of all sizes. All information sent between computers uses Web-based protocol, the default protocol accepted on wireless access points. This means teachers and students can roam freely around the room, or even be outside the classroom, and still experience the full functionality of both products.

Interaction and monitoring capabilities are found in one software suite.

DyKnow Vision, and its partner software DyKnow Monitor, can be purchased as a bundle. Together, these products use only one interface to keep students on task and foster interaction in the classroom.

From an IT perspective, both DyKnow Vision and DyKnow Monitor can be easily managed through a web-based interface.

Consulting and support services are available for all institutions.

Each DyKnow customer institution is assigned a customer relationship manager who assists schools through all aspects of the implementation process including deploying the software, training faculty and staff, as well as providing that helpful hints and relevant example. In addition, DyKnow's support team is available troubleshoot problems if they arise.
