- Over a 100 videos currently available:
- Summaries show when you hover over a video tile:
- Can it beat YouTube.com for scope? Can it beat textbook-integrated videos for applicability? Likely not, but you may find an add-on for your course, and even more for self-study.

Student users in the wrong time zone still cause problems with our equipment circulation system

- Imagine you are trying to pick up an item on local time, but the previous users will return it on Japan time – or (like in the example below)`vice versa. It happens all the time here …
- We can see the misconfiguration when opening the meeting in Outlook (Desktop), but we rarely do this.
- What gets routinely done here is opening the meeting in the OWA of the organizer:
- is there an obvious way to see the time zone for the organizer?
- The best I have found is this, and it is anything but obvious, deeply hidden in the OWA settings dialogues. Any change with Office365?

New problem in Sanako Study 1200 version 7 with 2 student recorder exe’s running simultaneously on client, under different user accounts?

- UPDATE: Also an issue in the spring term on the teacher computer..
- UPDATE: still an issue in the spring term.
- This cannot be good (brought this student down).
- How is this possible?
- Presumably the student logged out an admin during a Sanako activity (we frequently have to place late-coming students sit and use an administrator computer, but they do not always get at term start that they are not supposed to log the admin out and in)
- So this seems another (special) case of the recently observed student managing to exit the Sanako during an activity (helper.exe was running alright).
