Choosing the Right SuperNova License

SuperNova has two different license types which suit educational organizations:

  • Personal License (single user)
  • Professional License (multi-user)

If you have a single student with accessibility needs, choose the Personal Licence and install the SuperNova edition directly on to their device.

If you h
ave more than one student with a visual impairment at your setting, a Professional Licence is a better choice. This enables you to choose and install any of the SuperNova editions to meet the needs of all students who are blind or partially sighted.

Dolphin Whiteboard Assistant

Exclusively available for educators supporting vision impaired students, teachers can download Dolphin Whiteboard Assistant to their class PC and share the whiteboard display with any students in their class who use SuperNova.

Wirelessly connecting to the whiteboard means vision impaired students are able to sit anywhere in class. They can then use SuperNova to view the whiteboard contents on their laptops, with the magnification and colour theme that's most comfortable for them - or they can listen to the text with the speech functions.

Perfect for schools, colleges and universities, the Dolphin Whiteboard Assistant is secure, easy to install and makes accessibility easy.
