This images is too low resolution, but I am trying to demonstrate that we still experience the same issue as in the fall: two users can be logged in simultaneously. In both cases ones was me. this can cause the language lab software to fail.
If generally this is supposed to be prevented in our computing environment, what may be the root cause in these instances?
1. I am pretty sure mstsc’ing has nothing to do with it. I do not remote into that PC usually.
2. Is it possible for another user to log in when previous (administrative?) users got locked?

UPDATE: Step 1 is not necessary anymore, Step2 (Microphone click) still is.

Available here – in spite of the prominent user login button, you do not need to sign up.
Rather simply click the “Select Chapter” to get started.
You then have access to some of these types of exercises, per chapter:
Free (a (free) account is not needed):
1. Tutorial Quiz
2. Audio
3. Web Search Activities
4. Concentration
5. Heinle Playlist
6. Google Earth Coordinates
7. Web Links
Not free
1. Flashcards
2. Video (except for chapter 1 as taster)
3. Podcasts
4. Crossword
5. Chapter Glossary
What this content is good for:
1. Practicing. Including with a tutor, for since this content is not assessed, there is no ethical issue if the tutor helps with these materials.
2. It is from edition 8, which is not the current edition – but I expect it to be still reasonably to the current chapters chapter:
  1. Le commerce et la consommation
  2. Modes de vie
  3. La vie des jeunes
  4. Les télécommunications
  5. La presse et le message
  6. Le mot et l’image
  7. Les transports et la technologie
  8. A la fac
  9. La francophonie
  10. Découvrir et se décourvir

trpQuizGenerator allows for using simple markup (view training here) to produce cloze quizzes in large fonts, for easy screen sharing through the face-to-face classroom management system (see samples of quizzes based on this template here.)

Same problem as last term: (What made it come unstuck/unfixed?):
No Sanako screen sharing activity involved here, but MS-Community-Clips screen sharing.
Classes are moving in, and we cannot have the teacher computer slow to a crawl and eventually crash in the middle of a Sanako class, especially not when an assessment is involved.
