Class wizard

The Class wizard enables you to enter the general properties of a new lesson and allows you to choose how to locate and connect to your Students. You can create multiple classes using different connection methods. The required class can then be loaded at the start of the lesson and you can quickly connect to Student machines.

Click New to create a connection method for your class. The Select Startup Mode dialog appears: you can connect by room, a list of Student logon names or browse the local network to locate Students.

When the connection method for your class has been defined, it appears in the Class wizard and is available for selection. Double click the required class or highlight the class and click Select.

Note: If you're connecting by Room mode, you can connect to multiple rooms by highlighting the required rooms (click Ctrl and select the required rooms) and clicking Select.

Once the connection list is populated with the required class(es), you can click the Large Icon and Details View buttons to switch view mode.

To modify an existing class, select the required class and click Edit. The dialog relating to the method of connection will appear, allowing you to modify the details.

To delete a class, select the required class and click Remove.

Create a Student Register

Before the lesson starts, you can prompt the Students to login with their names. These will be displayed at the Tutor instead of the machine names.

Note: To re-activate the Class wizard to appear at startup, set the Display Class wizard option in the startup section of the configuration.
