Connection
How System Works
Teacher computer or system is the Core part of the Language Lab
subsystem. All features are available in Teacher Console. Connection
manager ensures stable and reliable connection with the students. The
system automatically notifies if any problems happened between a student
and teacher system.
The system connection manager continuously checks for new
incoming connections, If any request occurs it process the request
automatically and reads out client information and displayed as nodes.
Student console needs to login before starting a session. Students
are able to listen to files from their own library , learn pronunciation etc. will
work. But notifies the connection status in status bar.
Whenever Teacher console will gets up or started, the connection
manager in Student console will find the teacher automatically and
establishes a connection between the server.
How System Works…

When a student PC gets connected with the teacher PC, it


automatically reads out the lessons list from the Teacher Shared Lesson
database. When ever teacher adds a new file to the shared library, the
system sends the new lesson details to student.
Student can either play lessons directly from student console or
they are able to download the lessons to their own local folder. Sharing
lessons is the crucial part of LAN based learning systems.
Teacher is able to take care of individual student ie. Disconnect a
student from Teacher console, Peer to Peer chat, Individual file transfer
etc.
Web Camera Control
 Teacher can use web cam to record video
lesson for showing the demonstration of
lip movement.
 Direct access to student web is available
with Ultra Edition version.
 All video files are recorded in AVI format.
 Sound and video resolution settings are
available.
 Capture images from web cam
 Multiple camera drivers are supported
Multimedia Support
Use of Multimedia In Teaching

Multimedia files are most useful for teaching any


languages. With audio files we can study the
pronunciation styles , accent etc. Video files can be
shown to teach the lip moments. For situational
English we can show some flash files .

WLL supports wide variety of multimedia formats


available today.

Supported File Types:


AVI, MPG, DAT ,MP3, Wave, PDF, Doc, PPT ,Txt, Flash Files etc.
Remote Desktop Viewer
Language lab is a networked application, Teacher act as server
and needs to be monitored all students. For this , we are
introduced an advanced technology . Remote Desktop Viewer.

By using this , teacher is able to capture one students screen


and viewed on his/her console. For future reference we can save
the file as bitmap image. Later viewed on any photo editor or
even from Language Lab Remote Desktop Control.

This is a most outstanding feature we are providing in Language


Lab, or in other words it acts like a Remote Surveillance Camera.
Interactive Learning
The most exclusive feature of Language Lab Ultra Edition, It works like a teacher
teaching individual students at a time. When teacher opens the Interactive Control,
automatically clients WM_Execution module opens interactive teaching console.
All other open windows will be disabled. The student will not be able to control or
even move the window.
When teacher adds a multimedia lesson and starts playing, automatically
all client interactive console will start playing the same lesson. They are not
allowed to move forward or backward the lessons. When teacher moves the
lesson forward or backward, automatically the student lessons will move..
Students are not able to close the window. If teacher closes the window from
Teacher Console, same time all students interactive window will be unloaded at
the same moment.
By using this feature teacher will be able to teach the pronunciation, lip movement
etc. real time. This is one the most modern feature which are not available in
today's language lab market.
Lesson Comparing
What is Lesson Comparing?
Lesson comparing means to hear ones own voice with experts voice. To
compare a lesson , student must open an audio file to start. This audio file will be
used as reference file.
When user clicks on record button, the audio will start playing the
reference track as well as records the new voice from user. Simultaneous
process will take place. After stopping the comparison, the audio file saves
automatically . Compare button will be active if a successful recording is done.
To play the recorded lesson just click on the compare button. The
system plays both sounds automatically. Thus students/ teacher is able to
compare there pronunciation skills.
