The "Automatic Comparative Recording Editor (ACR) enables you to create and execute comparative recording exercises automatically for students. ACR exercises created with the Soloist software automatically play segments of the program material (audio/video), can automatically record student responses, can re-play the program segment, can re-play the student recording, and can repeat the process or continue to the next segment. A count-down timer with different colors associated with play, record, review, etc. give the student a visual indication of the time remaining for each. Student recordings can be automatically collected at the end of the exercise with or without the recorded program material. There are many other options available within the Sony Soloist software to customize this tool for varying levels and applications. Please contact SANS directly for more information on the complete set of authoring tools that come standard with the Sony Soloist software. ([log in to unmask]). Stella Derum SANS Inc.
