Easy Installation of Network and Applications Software
Based on the industry-standard
3C0m network, SchoolMale is an
integrated collection of applications
and utl . ---.,., ed to assist students, teachers and administrators
in organizing and creating information, and In managing
application software, time and resources. At the heart of
SchoolMate is an integrated software package designed
around Tandv's well-known DeskMate format and 3Com's
3+ Share.
Teachers can schedule lessons, prepare exams, keep class
rosters and calculate grades with this automated system. Student
data such as name and I.D. number can be easily transferred
to SchmlMate usin administrative solutions programs
from leading software pubgishers. And students have the benefit
of working with an easy-to-use system that not only
presents their lessons in an efficient, effective manner, but
teaches them about computers as well.
SchoolMate runs under 3C0m networksoftware on affordable
TandvLink network hardware. The svstem will also run with
3~om's EtherLink network hardware: This hardware versatility
will allow schools to start with stand-alone systems, and
move on to SchoolMate on a high-capacity 3C0m network.
