Using Program in Language Labs (over the network).
The program has features which make possible to utilize a single database (located on the apple(ether)-talk network server) by many copies of the program using the file sharing.
To utilize this option you should:
• Set up the apple(ether)-talk network, configure file sharing and dedicate the file server.
• Put 'Data' folder on this server.
• Install the program copies on client computers.
In every copy of the program you should:
• use the Open DB... option to choose the database located on the server machine,
• if you do not want to give the users permission to change the database or your server is write protected you should, open the Preferences window and un-check the: Allow User Making Changes? option.
Another suggestion for using program in the language labs is to define groups of verbs that should be known by students at certain level to give them possibility to practice with them, read comments and play sounds. This can be done by creating groups with names like Level A, Level B...etc. These groups can be updated as students learn more verbs. Creation of groups is available in Multiple Groups view and groups can be chosen for the exercises.
