Sanako Study 1200 Homework step-by-step
1. In the Sanako student player window, in the upper left of your screen, above the red “homework” tab, an MS-Word file will show in the list.
2. Click on this MS-Word file in the Sanako student player list.
3. A window will open that asks you to save the word file. Use the default, your Desktop. Click “OK” to save. The file will be added to your desktop.
4. Do whatever other activities your teacher assigned. Once the teacher aks you to do so, open the MS-Word file from the desktop.
5. Write in the MS-Word file what it asks you to do.
6. When done, close the MS-Word file.
7. MS-Word will ask you whether you want to save. Click “yes” (and do NOT “save as”, or change the file name or file format).
8. The file on your desktop will look the same, but it will have been updated with your input.
9. The teacher will open a window titled “homework” on your desktop.
10. Drag and drop the MS-Word file into this window.
11. If the file in the homework” window does not automatically say it was “delivered” to the teacher, click the lower right button: “Send”.
12. Once the file says “delivered”, you can go to the next task or log out.
13. If in doubt, ask for help. Use the Sanako student player button:“Call” to get into the queue. Somebody will connect to your headsets and screen ASAP.

Phonetic Russian character input on US-keyboards with Google IME in the LRC
- To write Russian phonetically in Cyrillic:
- Since “input methods”are specific to each window (and automatically switch to that of the window you make active), first open the application you want to write in, preferably MS-Word (has proofing tools for Russian).
- In the language bar on the lower right, click on “EN”, select “Russian” instead
- Click on the keyboard symbol and select “Google”:
- You first may have to right-click on the language bar on the lower right of your desktop and select “Adjust” to show the keyboard symbol:
- You first may have to right-click on the language bar on the lower right of your desktop and select “Adjust” to show the keyboard symbol:
- If you now type in MS-Word Russian (your selection did not “stick” in MS-Word? do the above steps again, eventually it will…) phonetically on a US-keyboard, you will be able to select from suggestions in Cyrillic:
- Click the desired suggestion to have it entered into MS-Word:
- To go back to writing temporarily in English (without changing the entire input method back to English), click the (Cyrillic/Latin) letter symbol on the Google Russian IME menu:
and you can enter English (Latin alphabet) without the popup suggesting you Russian equivalents: 
- To switch from the phonetic input to a floating Cyrillic keyboard,
- click on the keyboard symbol in the Google Russian IME.
- Or from the Language bar, switch to the other (Microsoft) keyboard layout for "Russian" (see #4 above), and go to "Start" / "Run" / type OSK, click "OK".
- click on the keyboard symbol in the Google Russian IME.
Character Input Methods for SLA (Western)
For studying (typing) Western Languages (= need for diacritics only; whether you have a US keyboard hardware or UK which is pretty similar), we recommend the MS Windows US International Keyboard layout which is based on “dead keys”.
Currently installed in the LLC are the Language Bar (floating on top of screen or accessible from the taskbar) with these keyboard layouts:
Keyboard layout settings are application/window specific, and “US” (non-international) is still the default for new applications/windows, so prepare to switch after you start a new application;
There are keyboard shortcuts for switching, however, “Key settings”: “switch between input languages” , using LEFT ALT + SHIFT, does not work. Workaround: use the language bar for switching:
Windows keyboard layout settings can be temperamental – if you find you cannot switch to a certain layout anymore, you may have to restart the computer.
Use the following keyboard shortcuts to enter diacritics more easily:
|
Press (together, then release) |
then press |

Planned improvements:
- Use LEFT ALT+Shift to switch to (Software) “Keyboard Layout” “United-States International”.
- Use other keyboard short cuts to access a desired keyboard layout directly
- Dock the “Language Bar” in the Taskbar, then hover over it to make sure you selected the proper “Keyboard Layout”.
