SANAKO Study 500

Researchers and educators are discovering the beneficial impact that the use of ICT resources, the Internet and multimedia can have in enhancing many different teaching areas. Teachers have found that apart from widening the range of resources and exercises they have at their disposal, teaching in the ICT classroom introduces a dimension of live interaction to learning. Students can use a number of different skills and exercises to learn ideas and concepts - using vision, hearing, discussion and reading to help reinforce ideas, which ultimately leads to more effective learning and retention.

SANAKO has developed teacher-friendly software that helps teachers make use of ICT resources, multimedia and the Internet to bring live interaction to their teaching routines.

SANAKO Study 500 is a software-based teaching solution that combines the use of ICT resources with multimedia and Internet to help teachers deliver live interaction for effective instruction in any subject area.

Updated SANAKO Study 500 software provides schools 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 them to learn more effectively by continuing their drills outside of the classroom.

Modularity

SANAKO Study Modules are easy-to-install software plug-ins that enhance the standard software. They can be used to introduce new teaching and learning activities into the ICT learning environment, providing teachers and students with more options for stimulating classroom interaction.

SANAKO Study Examination Module

SANAKO Study Examination is a valuable tool that helps teachers quickly and easily create examinations to test students in a number of different ways. The teacher interface (SANAKO Exam Wizard) can be launched from the Study teaching software, making it easy to quickly set up and administer tests from the same interface used for instruction.

The SANAKO Exam Wizard guides teachers through the creation of the test, offering a number of options for question types, and providing a great deal of flexibility in testing students’ abilities. Once the exam is launched, students respond to the questions using the SANAKO Exam Player. Students may also launch the Exam Player themselves for independent practice with existing tests.

The Examination Module immediately generates results for both student and teacher, providing an opportunity for students to receive instant feedback on their performance. The teacher may also choose not to let students see their results immediately.

SANAKO Study Examination Module makes exam creation even easier for teachers, while a number of improvements and new features expand the possibilities for testing students in the Study environment.

In version 2.0, Unicode character support allows teachers to quickly create tests in many different languages.

Drag and drop and match list question types have been updated to make exam creation faster and easier, while a new response type has been added. Other improvements in the new version of the Examination module improve usability for teachers and students.

SANAKO Study Content Authoring Module

SANAKO Study Content Authoring is designed for use with Study 500, SANAKO Content Authoring Module gives teachers power and flexibility by helping them to quickly and easily create original learning material that combines text, audio, video and images.

Students will find the combination of different media exciting and stimulating, while teachers can create unique content that focuses students on specific development areas.

The module is compatible with the Microsoft® .NET platform, and will also support the new Microsoft® Windows VistaTM operating system.

SANAKO Admin Module

SANAKO Admin is a useful application that helps system and network administrators support teachers by monitoring and managing student activity in Study sessions throughout a network.

The module has been designed for use by network/IT/Lab managers working in the Study software environment.

SANAKO Study Blackboard Module

SANAKO Study Blackboard provides teachers with instant access to Blackboard LMS by creating a “portal” in the study software. By selecting this access point, the teacher opens a connection in the Blackboard server, which allows him/her to download files and other course material into the Study file area.

The single teacher access for Blackboard-based course materials means that less time is spent getting started, as individual students don’t have to search for the material online. Teachers may then refer students back to their individual student accounts for independent practice with the material once the class is over, providing a seamless fit between the synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences.

Using Blackboard materials in interactive teaching enhances the value of self-paced and teacher-led learning by providing a closer link between both approaches.

It provides IT managers with a range of resources to monitor teaching and learning activity in the network, and provides basic tools for diagnosis of common usage problems in the system.

The module allows network supervisors to monitor student activity by viewing thumbnail images, monitoring screens, remote control of student work stations, and shut down workstations.

SANAKO Study Poll Query Module

When activated by a user license, it allows teachers to run on-the-spot queries to determine student engagement or understanding of a subject. The activated module allows students to use the tool 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.
