Workaround for Sanako study 1200 tutor v7 window limitations

  1. Problem: Window maximizes only to size of,and location defaults to, primary screen. This is now on windows7.
  2. Workaround: make the screen whose size you desire the primary (and live with the side effects).
  3. Downside:
      1. Screencast recordings of instruction won’t work: Community Clips  can only  record the primary screen, which is not the screen displayed to students during regular teaching. Windows Media Encoder does not work with our non-standard dual screen configuration on Windows7.

Sanako student lite recorder needs reconfiguration

  1. Because of a misconfiguration, students now always have to make these two changes (on teacher screen) from the default configuration (on student screen) before their Sanako will become operational:

  3. If you made the default, but wrong choice “Lite recorder”, you will get stuck with this:

  5. To get out of it, click button:”close”and start over.

Saba Centra on startup automatically selects the "microphone" as recording device…

  1. … But we in the language lab use the (dual function microphone/line-in) "rear input" for our headsets (for ergonomic, health&safety and security reasons). Workaround here.
  2. Apparently this startup behavior cannot be changed within Saba Centra:
    1. Any startup will bring up the “Audio Wizard” asking users, even in a controlled lab environment, to configure their audio devices,
    2. and if users do (and choose what they have: headset), make wrong assumptions which audio plug to enable (“Microphone” front panel, even if your headset is plugged into the rear panel dual “line-in/microphone”)
  3. The workaround according to  these easily Googled instructions is using the “Advanced” audio wizard options to override this “Audio Wizard” error, like so:
    1. “Re-open the Audio Wizard, go to the third screen and change your recording device in your “Recording Device” menu. Advance two slides and determine if you can hear your recorded voice. ”
      1. 1st screen: image
      2. 3rd screen: image
      3. note the instructions –  Click “Advanced”. But it is easier to just use from the start our Workaround here.
  4. The long-term solution is reconfigure your hardware and disable the front panel audio – but will Saba Centra  understand you? Stay tuned…
