SANAKO Lab 300 v 9.0 New Features

The new versions of SANAKO Lab 300 introduce a podcasting feature to help teachers make more digital learning material available for students.

The solution allows teachers to easily upload digitized or existing MP3 material to the VLE for students to access online, thus extending learning possibilities.

By making classroom and home study material available on the Internet, teachers can more easily integrate classroom learning with independent study. Online material also supports on-demand learning, allowing students to access resources as needed.

Podcasting in SANAKO Lab 300 offers many benefits:

• Allows school to extend learning opportunities beyond the classroom
• Materials used in lab can be accessed for off-campus exercises or self study
• Materials can be used with different SANAKO solutions
• Makes effective use of the Internet to extend learning opportunitie
• Integrates popular, easily available media resources into the language lab
• Allows for use of podcasts on mobile learning devices alongside language labs
• Supports self-evaluation and peer evaluation of student recordings

Enhancements offer important usage benefits

Other enhancements to SANAKO Lab 300 include simplified video streaming possibilities, with the integration of the Video Live module; the ability to launch files for students in mark-to-speak mode; and the ability to define which Media Assistant features teachers wish to deactivate in Exam mode.

Teachers can now save time by launching the voice insert function (mark-to-speak) for students, giving them greater control over this useful teaching feature.

SANAKO Lab 300 - Ahead of its Class

SANAKO Lab 300 allows teachers to automatically remove certain functions from the students’ Media Assistant application by selecting the "Exam Mode". This allows the teacher to set up the controlled environment required for testing students’ language abilities – they can no longer use features such as variable speed, bookmarks or the voice graph for assistance.

Saving text chat

Saving and printing of text chat sessions sets up additional opportunities for learning, review and self-assessment, allowing teachers and students to get maximum benefit from this interactive activity. Teachers can review the contents of such sessions to monitor and correct students’ usage of language, while learners themselves can review the material for self-correction and additional independent study.

Fast digitization of teaching material

Eliminating the need for specialized digitization programs, the Fast-Digitize feature allows teachers to quickly convert analog material to digitized resources, preserving and enhancing the value of years of valuable teaching material.

Variable speed playback for student convenience

A real bonus for students and teachers in the learning environment, this feature lets students reduce the playback speed of learning material if they are having difficulty following. It puts more control in students’ hands, encouraging them to become more active partners in the learning process, and also offers teachers more opportunities for focusing on individual needs.

Create Teaching and Learning Opportunities - Anywhere, Anytime!

The ability to package a series of files using SANAKO Media Assistant means that teachers can create exercises outside of the language lab environment – even at home! And in cases where students also have Media Assistant Lite, the opportunities for learning can be expanded beyond the classroom walls.
