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.
