Today's self-access learning centers must accommodate the different cognitive abilities, skills, habits, and attitudes of their students, as well as their different needs, interests and learning styles. Managing the aspects of such an environment is a demanding and time-consuming undertaking. To simplify this task, we developed SANAKO Study 300.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Sanako Study 300 provides a solution and at the same time ensures optimum performance from an ICT infrastructure. Study 300 is also a great learning facilitator. By providing an on-line library of resources, students are encouraged to structure their own learning through research, discovery and exploration.

MediaManager

Sanako Study 300 facilitates organisation by cataloguing and classifying learning resources in Study 300 MediaManager. Study 300 MediaManager includes a set of templates to enable the simple creation of a directory structure for shared learning resources. The flexibility of Media Manager ensures that resources are always made available to meet the unique needs of individual institutions.

MediaFinder

Sanako Study 300 MediaFinder provides quick and easy access to learning resources catalogued in the Study 300 MediaManager database. Material is accessed either by browsing through the directory structure or by using the in-built search engine. Study 300 MediaFinder then enables the student to preview, launch or download the material as well as add to a personal collection.

ResourceManager

At the heart of Sanako Study 300 ResourceManager is the student database comprising core personal data. In addition to the personal data fields Study 300 ResourceManager includes options to allocate individual students to a faculty, department, or "house" and to a program of study or year group. Individual students can also be assigned to multiple courses or subjects.

Sanako Study 300 ResourceManager also tracks the use of connected workstations to provide a summary of activity across the network including the number of students logged on, the average session time as well as details of the location of the most popular workstations.
