Best New Education Solution

SANAKO Corporation's real-time online teaching tool, Sanako Lounge 100 has been named the Best New Education Solution in the 19th annual CODIE awards of the SIIA (Software and Information Industry Association).

SANAKO Lounge 100, the virtual language space, brings the university and its teachers into the homes and campus workplaces to students through the World Wide Web interface. Taking the learning process beyond the physical classroom, Sanako Lounge 100 supports collaborative learning among students who participate at times and places of their own choice and their own selection of teachers available online.

Virtual learning is not so much about technology or content but about changes to teaching and learning processes. It is about new resources, human interaction, communications, progress and performance support in a virtual, on-line environment. Sanako Lounge 100, a virtual language classroom, brings to an educational organization an extensive range of synchronous and collaborative learning tools to take language learning beyond the limits of classroom walls.

From rich voice conferencing to group control tools to chat and application sharing Sanako Lounge 100 provides for effective solutions for teaching and learning in cyberspace.

With Sanako Lounge 100 you can teach real-time lessons over the Internet, no matter where the students locate. The Sanako Lounge 100 lessons are all about human interaction in an on-line environment. The main window of the Sanako Lounge 100 Tutor Software consists of the snapshot view of members' screens, controls for oral and textual communication, and different views to work in.

Would you like your students to work within groups? Sanako Lounge 100 offers a wide range of possibilities for students' group work, from real-time audio connection between group members to the interactive Group Board where the members can share their ideas. As a teacher you can monitor each group's discussion separately, and view the content of each Group Board. Additionally, you can easily create special content combinations for different groups before or during the lesson.
