Monitor Module

The Monitor module lets teachers and students communicate in real time.

Keep an eye (and ear) on your students

A teacher can use any computer in a lab or outside the lab to monitor a class and can change computers in mid-session.

The teacher selects the course to monitor, and only students in the lab who are in that course are affected. Students in other courses can work in the lab without interfering with monitoring and without being disturbed themselves.

The main Monitor panel shows the teacher which lesson and item each student is working on and whether the student is just listening or is recording. For a large class, the window scrolls to show all students.

Interact easily with your students:

• Listen to any student as the student works;
• Interrupt and have a private conversation with a single student or talk with the entire class.
• Intervention by the teacher pauses students' work automatically, so that they can resume it afterward at the same spot.
• See right away when a student wants your help. (The Called button blinks.)

Here is the Monitor screen before students log in and begin working:

(We don't have a picture yet of monitoring students using version 2.2; here it is with the previous version.)
