Messaging with Students:
There are two ways to converse with students via the NetOp system. “Chat” is a real-time, two-way conversation that appears in a new window, while “Send Message” will do just that; a single message will be sent to the student’s computer, which they cannot reply to.

Chatting

Right-click a student (in any view) and select “Chat with this student.”

A new window will appear prompting you for a discussion title; you can enter one if you wish, but it is not required.

A new window for the chat session will appear. Enter text into the area at the bottom, and hit either “Enter” on your keyboard of the “Send” button on the window to send the text.

When you are done with the chat session, simply click the “End chat” button; the window will close on both your own computer and the student’s.

Send a Message

Right-click a student (in any view) and select “Send Message to this Student.”

A new window will appear with space to type a message to the student. Type out the message and click “Send Message,” which is the first button located directly below the “File” menu.

A window will appear on the student’s computer with the message you have sent. They will be unable to respond to the message, but will be able to close the window. This is useful in conjunction with the “Thumbnails View” in NetOp to catch students off-guard when they are not engaging in their assignments.

"Attention":
Select either a single student or the entire group of students, and click the “Attentin” button in NetOp’s main toolbar. Every selected student’s screen will be taken over and will show a white screen with people and a lock on it. This is useful when you need to grab every student’s attention, without them using the computers.
