Managing student computers

Students’ computers are controlled directly using the graphical interface of the teacher’s program. The graphical representation of the class can be easily edited in accordance with the real one by changing the size and relative position of the classrooms. The interface is customized using movable toolbars with changeable appearance and customizable menus. The standard window for viewing and editing document properties is similar to Microsoft Office.


The teacher exercises full control of students’ personal computers from his workplace:

  • control interception;
  • launch applications;
  • input blocking;
  • power management;
  • controlled use of Internet pages as educational materials;
  • control of running programs;
  • editor for the list of allowed and prohibited programs;
  • editing shortcuts for launching programs;
  • controlled use of removable media;
  • automatic monitoring of student computers;
  • view thumbnails of selected or all students;
  • displays the screen of the teacher or selected student on all computers;
  • highlight information on your computer screen over an image using the Pen tool

The program uses a local network for communication between computers in the class. Audio and video materials and other files can be transmitted over a local network, and students’ personal computers can be fully controlled from the teacher’s workstation.

Class Journal

The Nibelung Dialogue program allows you to keep attendance and progress logs. Each teacher has his own journal. The teacher gains access to the control panel using a personal password. The system automatically recognizes the registered classes of this teacher. Class files, audio and video materials of teachers are stored in personal folders.

The program interface allows you to:

  • edit the visual representation of the class;
  • enter and change student names;
  • choose and change the topic of the lesson;
  • set the duration of the lesson and the warning time about its end;
  • register those present at the lesson;
  • give ratings;
  • view attendance and performance statistics in the database with the generation of reports in HTML format

When you start registering those present in a lesson, a corresponding window appears on the students’ computer monitors, in which they must confirm their presence and, if necessary, enter their last name and initials. After the registration process is completed, a window with the results is displayed on the teacher’s screen.

Interaction with students

Connected students can work individually, in pairs and in groups (up to 10 groups at a time). The teacher can secretly listen to the work of a selected student, pair or group.

Operating modes:

  • In Conversation mode the teacher can start a conversation with a selected student, pair or group.
  • In the “Run a program” mode the teacher launches programs for a selected group or the entire class.
  • In the “Record” mode the teacher records the microphone of a selected student, group or entire class on the hard drive of the students’ and teacher’s computers in WAV or MP3 formats. In addition, the teacher can record his conversation with the student (simultaneous recording of the microphone of the teacher and the student).
  • In Message mode the teacher and student can exchange instant text messages. A chat session can be started for the selected group.
  • In Self-Learning mode students work independently with various files and can record their voice.
  • Quick Quiz mode allows you to send a question to a group of students or the whole class, to which the student must give the correct or preferred answer.
  • The “Interactive Whiteboard” mode is designed to provide collective or individual drawing for groups of students or the entire class.

Work in groups and pairs

At the moment, there are 7 different tasks that the teacher can combine in any combination depending on needs and in accordance with the developed lesson plan.

The teacher can:

  • organize students into groups (up to ten groups at a time) and pairs (within a group);
  • form pairs of students in different ways: randomly, by the choice of the teacher or the students themselves, by loading previously created sets of pairs;
  • make a general call to all students, listen to or engage in conversation with a selected student, pair or group;
  • record a conversation;
  • transfer audio information and other files to individual students and groups for further work

7 tasks

  • self-learning
  • discussion
  • screen transfer
  • Internet
  • working with files
  • testing
  • working with multimedia sources

Use of audio materials

The program allows you to simultaneously use up to 10 audio sources, including several sound cards or several built-in CD drives.

Various audio signals can be transmitted to students over the local network for listening:

  • audio files;
  • tracks from CDs;
  • line input of sound card;
  • microphone of the teacher or selected student;

Audio materials from any external source connected to the input of the sound card of the teacher’s computer, as well as any other broadcasts, including a microphone, can be digitized and saved for further work. The teacher can use one CD with educational materials, starting a separate track for each group.

Homework

The teacher can distribute files for independent work at home, as well as collect files (tasks) prepared by students. Homework is given to a group of students or individually. Information is automatically saved: who received the task, when and when it was submitted.

Learning with the Nibelung Dialogue software continues outside the classroom. The student can use the digital tape recorder and testing system at home to complete homework or self-study.

The teacher can also use the digital tape recorder, testing system and test maker outside of class to prepare for classes or check student work.

Screen transfer

Передача экрана

The teacher can transfer to students’ computers a display of the screen of any computer or one of the programs running on it. Screen sharing mode will allow students to see the material on their computer screen. While broadcasting, you can use the pen tool to highlight important information on the screen. A teacher can record a broadcast of his or a student’s screen and use it as a regular video file.

Student digital tape recorder

The graphical interface of the student module eliminates student interference in the operation of the system. Only the teacher can decide whether students should work independently with digital tape recorders. The student’s digital tape recorder allows you to play audio and video files in all common formats. A digital tape recorder has the functions of a regular tape recorder – playback, recording, repeat, etc. Additionally, a digital tape recorder allows the student to control the speed at which the audio file is played.

In the “Self-learning” mode, the student can select a file from the list proposed by the teacher, create bookmarks to listen to the file again from the moment marked on the track.

The student can record his voice, listen, compare his recording with a sample track and visually see the differences thanks to the presence of a graphical display of audio, as well as add or change subtitles to the recording.

Each student’s client module has a “Call Teacher” button for the student to contact the teacher and a “Message” button for sending a question to the teacher in text form.
