Company Confidential OVERVIEW

Application and activity control software for networked computer classrooms …. designed to be used by teachers in order to provide practical teaching benefits. “ Imperata transforms a network into an educational environment of enormous potential. It puts control (observation, direction, intervention and support) at the fingertips of the teacher and its versatility is such that it is limited only by our imagination”. Mr Greg Gilbert Head Of ICT Moor End Technology College, Huddersfield, UK “I can heartily endorse Imperata, I am aware that there are other packages that provide broadly similar facilities, but frankly I have found them rather restrictive. Imperata has a considerable potential for flexibility and imagination, and I think it will continue to develop as a first-rate resource.” Dr Bob Fox, MAPE
