SoftLINK and Android Devices

SoftLINK allows the instructor to show their desktop to connected trainee Android tablets. This is a great way to ensure all students follow-along during your presentation and stay on task.

Remotely launch a selected website on one, several or all trainee Android tablets. This saves time and guarantees all students are on the appropriate site.

Teachers may elect to create a lesson objective within SoftLINK which provides students with the details of the current lesson and what is expected of them.

Teachers used to flash the lights in the classroom to get the students' attention, but in today's modern classrooms there is a more effective way. SoftLINK gives the instructor the ability to black-out the Android screens. All the Android tablets go dark and attention is directed to the instructor. With the tap of an icon the instructor can return the student's screen back to their local screen. It's that simple.

Teachers can conduct on-the-fly surveys to gauge the classes' knowledge and comprehension. The teacher sends the survey question to the students, they respond in real-time, results are tallied for the instructor's review. The instructor can elect to show the results to the whole class, enabling students to receive immediate feedback on their progress. This is a great feature to use to determine if you need to review specific areas of a lesson or if the class has a great understanding of the material.

SoftLINK's built-in Question and Answer mode is a quick way for teachers to reinforce key learning points and instantly gauge student understanding during a lesson. Raise a question to the class, then select students to answer - with these fun selections of 'First to Answer', 'Enter A Question', 'Pot Luck', 'Team First to Answer' or 'Team Enter to Answer'. This is a fun way to engage your students and introduce team building skills.

Both the student and the teacher can initiate an online conversation. This is a great way for a student to communicate with an instructor so they can refer back to the chat when needing to reference an assignment or specific instructions for a project.

The instructor can send an important message to one, several or all student Android tablets. Students will receive an audible and visual alert when the message has arrived. This is a fast & easy way of sending out a mass notification to your students.

Students are sometimes too embarrassed to raise their hand for assistance. With SoftLINK students no longer have to be concerned about needing help. Students can discreetly alert the instructor they need help through SoftLINK's interface. The teacher will receive an alert allowing them to respond to the student's request. As the teacher moves about the classroom they can easily identify a student needs help as a red toolbar appears at the top of the student's device.
