New Modules offer More Learning Possibilities

SANAKO Study Blackboard Module provides teachers with instant access to the Blackboard LMS by creating a "portal" in the study software, through which teachers can access learning materials for live classroom teaching. This module brings the blended learning approach even closer to teachers and students, and enhances the value of both self-paced and teacher-led learning. This module can be used with both Study 500 and Study 1200.

Designed for use with Study 500, SANAKO Content Authoring Module gives teachers power and flexibility by helping them to quickly and easily create original learning material that combines text, audio, video and images. Students will find the combination of different media exciting and stimulating, while teachers can create unique content that focuses students on specific development areas.

The software and modules are compatible with the Microsoft .NET platform, and will also support the future Microsoft Vista technology. They are SCORM-compatible, making them a must for use with LMS systems such as Blackboard Learning Systems.
