Discussion Activities

The teacher can unobtrusively listen to student conversations, allowing them to feel free to express themselves using their own words, rather than rehearsed textbook responses. Pair and Group discussions can be set-up in only few seconds, changing pairs takes only few mouse clicks saving valuable lesson time.

Voice Insert

In the Voice Insert mode, gaps can be inserted automatically into source material, which means that one does not have to leave silent parts for the answers in the recordings – any audio file can be used. This unique feature allows for the creation of exercises during playback, and for a teacher to give oral feedback on student recordings after a test.

Sessions

Study 700 has up to six sessions. The teacher can initiate different activities for the students and use different methods for each session to individualize learning. They can put more advanced students in self-study session while focusing on to the students who require more support. In the Self-Access mode each student works independently of all the other students.

Monitoring Students

Monitoring students allows teachers to listen to selected students’ work and view their screens. Screen monitoring allows the teacher to view the screen activity of multiple student workstations in real time seeing how assignments progress. Student screens can all be viewed simultaneously as thumbnails.

Screen Transfer with Audio and Marker Tool

Study 700 allows the teacher to share the contents of the teacher screen and talk to the students at the same time, e.g. show a video from the internet. The screen image and audio can be transferred to a single student or the entire class. The Marker Tool allows teachers to highlight screen items in order to make sure that students are concentrating on essentials.

Control of Student PCs

Study 700 gives the teacher control over student PCs, which allows for guidance and support of the students. The teacher can black out the student screens and/or lock the cursors and keyboards to draw their attention. A blocking feature allows the teacher to block the use of Internet or other applications to help students focus on a given task.
