We are using the lab for 12 languages, More than 1600 students at about 200-250 students a day. Our class are programmed in a way that all students record their voice almost at all time so it generate BIG amount of files. So we had to by a new server of 76 gig to replace the original one of 4 gig and we should be ok for at least a year. Except for that and the few files lost bcs the server was full we didn't have any major crash. To describe the software I will say that: 1- very good for the students easy to understand and to used 2- A bit more complicated on the instructor side, some commands are not easy to understand, even for me who work in it all the time, and some create confusion and can result in bigger problems 3- The administrative side need to be worked on, import of student from class list, stats, etc are not perfect and not easy to used I have a tech who work for me and he had trouble to figure out the way of doing the import of student, and when you do that import during the semester (after the drop ad time) it create also other problems... But I have to say that CAN8 gives us a maximum of support and answers to ours phones calls or emails very fast (same day most of the time) and also that we closed the old audio lab and opened the computer one without transition and period of test. So we are learning on the way. The reaction to the changes and to the software is great as well. The Students and teachers love it! I don't think the software only version is ready yet ? I have ask yesterday and the told me in a week or 2. Do you have an other answer for that?
