What is “Content location” in Sanako Study Student Recorder (including Lite) for?
2013/01/17

- While working on rolling out the free Sanako Light recorder to all faculty computers in a more systematic, automated way, the question has come up:
- What is “Content location” in Sanako Study Student Recorder (Ver 6, including Lite) “Administrative Settings” for, and how can it accept a URL?
- No such field in Ver 5.51; no mention in the help file; no manual this new (free) version would help seems included with the download.
- I am trying to point the “My files” to a more shared and LRC-accessible location on our SANAKO network share. Should I try the same with “Content Location”, or is this (defaults to “Application Data”) a strictly temporary location for during authoring?
- Answer: Sanako seems to be planning using this for distributing their own learning materials, esp. for ESL.
How teachers can record audio materials here

The purpose of doing a recording of learning materials for the SANAKO during a faculty workshop is merely to get you started. The use of the SANAKO is not limited to the LRC. After taking the workshop, you can:
-
if needed,
-
check out one of the LRC faculty headphones (we have now 5 for faculty use in our list of LRC resources),
-
install the Sanako standalone recorder on your office or home PC,
-
-
start the recorder and press the red record button,
-
read your questions into the headset microphone, preferably after you have put them in the format of my exam template (consider this sample exam recording a model),
-
use something like a bell, whistle (or simply clap your hands) to create audible cues for when you want to start/stop speaking cues
-
watch the timer on the Student Recorder to leave the same amount of response time for the students as you announced after the questions
-
save the file to the proper location that I listed here: https://thomasplagwitz.com/2012/11/06/how-teachers-find-their-sanako-materials/ .
That’s all. If you need a refresher, please come to one of my bi-weekly LRC “Sanako Clinics” that will appear in the LRC hours&events calendar.

How to terminate Sanako student.exe
2012/12/04

- Since I am getting search engine hits from the above query on my blog, a quick answer:
- You likely need to terminate the helper.exe in the process manager first, since this service restarts the student.exe, for the good reason that
- you do not want students to opt out of your Sanako class,
- and also in case of student.exe crashes.
- Now here is wondering why you want to terminate it….
