For installation on any iOS device (iOS 6.0 or later), RM Student for iOS device gives teachers the power to connect to each student in a RM Tutor managed classroom (RM Tutor application required), enabling real-time interaction and support.
Key features
- Student Register: The teacher can request standard and/or custom information from each student at the start of each class, and create a detailed register from the information provided.
- Connecting to Students: The teacher can either browse for student tablets from the Tutor desktop application, or allow students to connect directly to the relevant class from their iOS device.
- Lesson Objectives: If provided by the teacher, once connected, students are presented with details of the current lesson, together with overall objectives and their expected learning outcomes.
- Sending Messages: The teacher can broadcast messages to one or more selected tablet devices.
- Chat: Either the student or the teacher can initiate a Chat session, and participate in group discussions.
- Requesting Help: Students can discreetly alert the teacher when they need help. This sends an alert to the teacher’s desktop, enabling them to interact with the student concerned. In addition, a red toolbar appears at the top of the student’s screen, enabling the teacher to easily identify students in need of help as they move around the classroom.
- Class Surveys: As part of student and classroom assessment, the teacher can conduct on-the-fly surveys to gauge student knowledge and understanding. Students can respond in real time and the teacher can then display the results to the class.
- Question and Answer: The teacher can conduct instant student and peer assessment by delivering verbal questions to the class, using a choice of answering modes – randomly selected students, first to answer, or answering in teams.
- Show Screen: While presenting, the teacher can show their desktop on connected student devices. Students can then use touch-screen gestures to pinch, pan and zoom in order to highlight key information as required.
- Student Rewards: The teacher can remotely assign token rewards to students, to recognize good work or behavior.
- WiFi/Battery Indicators: The teacher can view the current status of wireless networks and the battery strength for connected student devices.
- Configuration Options: Teachers can choose to pre-configure each iOS tablet with the required classroom connectivity settings, or ‘push’ the settings out to each device from the RM Tutor application.
