The network version of Sibelius 6 helps teachers manage a lab of Sibelius copies from a single computer, and ensure students are doing what they're meant to be!
A single, simple Classroom Control window shows you all the Sibelius copies running, as well as the students' usernames. You can freeze students' programs when you want them to pay attention. Get a copy of the score each student is working on - or send a score to any student, or to all of them at once. You can also prompt students to save a version of their score with the new Versions feature, to help you track their progress over time.
And it's all password protected, for complete security.

On Classroom Control...
"With Classroom Control, Sibelius 6 takes a big step forward in functionality for teachers. The ability to manage students' machines, exchange files, and help students to create version of their work will prove to be useful features for teachers who want students to focus on the creative elements of music composition, rather than the technical parts of the notation software.
In addition, adding text notes to scores will allow for students to ask questions, express their creative thoughts, and seek feedback from teachers and experts. These features represent a great accomplishment on the part of Sibelius, and once again show us their focus on improving educational settings."
