SANAKO Releases Study 500/1200 v. 2.04 Service Pack 1 (v. 2.60)

mary | 04 September, 2007 10:33

SANAKO announces the release of Study 500/1200 v. 2.04 Service Pack 1 (v. 2.60). The service pack has a number of improvements to Study features that enhance usability.

The Service Pack has been thoroughly tested in its own test environment, as well as on-site with existing customers.

Functionality improvements include completely shutting down/blocking/limiting students from using the internet. This new feature is an enhancement to the already existing internet controls, which allowed the teacher to block certain undesirable websites and/or only allow student access to those pre-approved by the instructor. This also eliminates the need for a school to purchase two or more solutions to achieve the same results, thus saving the school money that can be used in other areas.

With such increasing usage of technology in the classroom and more one to one computer to student ratios being implemented, students are more likely to move from classroom to classroom and bring their own PC with them. Because of this Sanako has enabled the students to select their classroom/teacher from a predetermined list, thus allowing students to quickly and easily gain access to class files and the teacher can now start teaching almost immediately.

Other features include:

Ability to collect recorded files after the Discussion activity
Record the program track during the Listening Comprehension activity
Possibility for teachers to use the audio from a selected media player on the tutor computer as the media source during an activity
Video streamer input selections have been added to the Tutor GUI preferences
