Userful for Education

Give each student their own computer station with the features and computing experience of a full PC for a fraction of the cost!

Userful provides two different cost-effective computer solutions for schools, with hundreds of free software applications for students and teachers. That's why more than 50,000 schools in 100 countries are using Userful to provide millions of students with computer access.



Userful Multiplatform™ is software bundle that turns 1 computer into 20+ high performance independent computer stations. Each station connects to the host PC using a zero client device over Ethernet within the Local Area Network (LAN), or via a USB cable when this is preferable. It enables schools to quickly deploy large numbers of computer stations for a very low cost, whether in the classroom, computer lab, or school library. It is easy to set up, use and maintain, and provides teachers with the tools they need to give their students a high quality computer-based education.

Userful Desktop™ provides the same functionality as Userful Multiplatform, but in addition provides over 500 management, monitoring, and lockdown features, all controlled from an internet browser.
