Features and Benefits

Guided and Controlled Web Browsing. The Web Browser activity of SANAKO Study 500 contains all functions of a standard browser, as well as additional features, which allow the teacher to control students’ navigation. Tutors can easily launch the internet browser and direct students to specific pages, saving time and energy as writing the web addresses on blackboard is no longer necessary.

By using the Browser function, teachers can launch web browsers for students who can easily follow the teachers’ web navigation in real time. After the presentation, students can be left at a prescribed point to continue with independent study. The tutor can also create a list of denied or allowed web pages by using the Web Policy Selection in the SANAKO Study Web Browsing activity.

Screen Control and Monitoring. The teacher can collaborate with selected students by accessing their computers to help with a task on the student screen and at the same time communicate with the student. Monitoring students allows teachers to listen to selected students’ work and view their screens.

Adjustable Student Thumbnails in Separate Windows. Teachers can work with separate windows, making it easier to more effectively monitor student activity in the Study environment. Using a dual display system makes it easy to monitor, guide and support students while working with other applications on a separate display. The enhancement also allows teachers to adjust the size of student thumbnails for more focused monitoring of class activity.
