Updated SANAKO Study 500/1200 learning software solutions can now be
used with an affordable, flexible licensing system that ensures that
schools have exactly the resources they need for IT-based teaching.
This flexible licensing system helps schools make the most of their
IT infrastructure while avoiding expensive over-licensing.
The new Study software also offers easier and more efficient IT-based
teaching, while the latest add-on Modules help teachers ensure that
students are on top of their subject matter, and allow students to
learn more effectively by continuing their drills outside of the
classroom.
Flexible New Licensing System
SANAKO's dynamic licensing method makes use of a flexible pool of
common licenses, in which licenses are no longer tied to a certain
tutor application. This allows a license user to reserve the learning
application from the license pool only for the time application is
being used. Once the user is finished with the application, the
license will be returned to license pool to be for use by someone else.
This ingenious system allows Study licenses to be used more flexibly
throughout the school - Sanako's interactive learning software can
then be used in any IT suite within the school, and no longer has to
be reserved to specific locations. Schools can then make maximum use
of all IT classrooms for interactive, cross-curricular teaching, thus
maximizing their return on investment in progressive teaching
methods. The system also allows schools to easily expand licenses as
their needs grow.
New SANAKO Study Modules Add Punch to Learning Routines
SANAKO introduces the SANAKO Study Lite Recorder Module and SANAKO
Study Poll Query, with the latter available for use with SANAKO Study
500 and 1200. The Study Lite Recorder Module is a stand-alone
application that can also be used independently by students.
Study Lite Recorder Module is a two-track student recorder with
specialized language learning features that supports independent
student learning both on- and off-campus. The module provides
learning continuity by supporting learning at home, and offers
students more learning flexibility when installed across the school
in open-access learning areas.
Study Poll Query Module allows teachers to run on-the-spot queries to
determine student engagement. Students may also use the feedback
feature to let teachers know if they are following the lesson or if
they are having difficulty. This unique module provides teachers with
a quick snapshot of student understanding of a given subject,
allowing them to immediately correct mistakes and misconceptions. It
helps support effective instruction and ultimately improves learning
outcomes.
