STM Crash
Oops? Haven’t seen that one before, and the Sanako Study 1200 has been stable. Networking issues again? (availability of file share S-drive?) See similar crash of licensing service recently.
Replacing the Sanako Authoring Tool
- Problem: Oral exams with visual cues have been popular, but the Sanako Authoring Tool we used to create them has been faded out. How can we quickl replace it?
- Workaround:
- collect your files in my Word template (left part of screenshot) like before (question/cue, repetitions, response pause time), including your images
- Save your MS-Word files as html.
- This will create a subfolder with media (right-side of screenshot). All your images are numbered sequentially in the order they appear in your template. Some are duplicated: select the first ones (the duplicate is a size reduction), plus the unique ones, and copy them to a new folder, e.g. “pictures”, on the Sanako teacher share, somewhere underneath your course folder where also your audio exam files resides.
- During the exam , you can display the pictures while playing the audio portion of your oral exam, from this folder sorted by name (= numbered sequentially) with the default teacher computer image viewer. No need even to fling out PowerPoint….

How to fix “no audio” on the computers with black Sanako headsets
- First, show the Sanako student application (e.g. from button:Start / Student).
- Is the Volume Control slider set to 0? Move it up where it says “Adjust volume”:
- Still hear no audio playing on the black Sanako headsets? Then the volume slider was likely moved to 0 since the headset was not detected: On the rear of the computer, check the connection
- of the blue headset plug into the USB extension cord, and
- of the extension cord into the rear of the computer.
