How to quickly check if onboard audio is disabled on student PCs with Sanako headsets
2013/07/05

- Sanako Study 1200 works best with its own Sanako SLH-07 headsets (they include a USB soundcard). When using these, it is best to completely disable the analog or other sound chip/card that came with your system (onboard). Usually, you can do this in the BIOS.
- Before you venture in there, an easy check on which computers is necessary is possible thanks to Audacity displaying the sound card options: Start Audacity form the desktop and look in the dropdowns under the top menu which sound devices Audacity has detected on the system:
- This example is form a PC where I had to fix it:
. Audacity should not see the SoundMax if it has been disabled in the BIOS. - And this is what audacity should see (the USB sound card that comes with the Sanako SLH-07):

- Even though we may soon swap the switch, here is how the AV switch needs to be connected for the teacher computer’s left screen to get projected to the dual projector screens:

3.Open them from within the browser using "Open in OneNote" (the cache is rebuild)

First results with MS-Calendar Analytics for learning center management
2013/06/22

- You can use the controls on the right to drill into the detail by selecting one or more
- Aliases,
- Attendees,
- Time periods
- Status.
- The graphs on the left and in the center will automatically reflect your selection on the right.
- These results lead to more questions. E.g. why is this tripod so popular?
-
Lesson learnt: Now it comes back to haunt us that we block broken or MIA equipment from users attempting to book it by making it look “busy” with an 24/7 “Appointment“. However, It should however be possible to filter out such appointments, versus “meeting requests”.

First steps with MS-Calendar Analytics
2013/06/22

- After installing Calendar analytics (and, if you do not already have it, PowerPivot), open the Calendaranalytics spreadsheet from your desktop and click on “Refresh Calendar”.
- “Enter your full email address. Users with more than 1 email address may need to try each of them.”
- “Enter a start date and end date for the timeframes for the Dashboard to reflect”/
- “The interface will prompt you for the user’s aliases to add. You can add multiple.”
- “Type in users’ aliases of whom you have permission (i.e. “Full details”) to access their Outlook calendar and click Add”
-
- Do not use the fully qualified email address for the alias, or else:
- You cannot comma delimit (so AutoIt to the rescue).
- You can continue after such a non-fatal error:
- Is your “Update all” greyed out ? Restart Excel.
- Accept the offer to upconvert:
- Update all becoame available after restart of excel, even with download exceptions – maybe the unsaved update of the spreadsheet form powerpivot 1 was the root cause ?
- Not that here upconversion to the new powerpivot version does not “take”:
- If after a restart of excel your powerpivot tab on the ribbon does not show, reenable the powerpivot addin.
- How to reenable: excel file/ options / select dropwdown: addins, button:go, check the Checkbox in front of powerpivot:
- What if even after a restart of excel, this does not “take”? See whether in the registry the key CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Resiliency\DisabledItems contains the path to your powerpivot add-in,like here:
- Delete the key and restart excel, your powerpivot ribbon tab =should be back. Hope this will last?
- Now updating does something:
- This opens the powerpivot window with the meeting data collected fro mms-exchange:
- Which can be interactively: visualized in the calendaranalytics sheet
- More results here.
