The Lab 300 is a language-study-specific, multimedia-learning laboratory. Through the Lab 300, you'll get the
most efficient, productive and effective use of your time and all of your media

The Lab 300 (DIVACE-ICM – Information CommunicationManager)
seamlessly blends analog and digital audio-video-data lessons
sources with the flexibility, convenience, and efficiency of digital – all
designed to get the student on task fast.  And all designed to keep the
instructor in control through oral and visual monitoring; and productive
by guiding, correcting and coaching  individual learners, to testing and
reporting results.

From the instructor hub, you group students for tasks and conferences;
pair students for role-playing exercises; administer oral or multiple-
choice testing; and manage department/course/teacher/student
resources via the integrated database. You send a variety of analog and
digital lessons to individuals, groups, or to the class; and communicate
with each confidentially via headset.  Plus, you monitor or send teacher
or student computer screens and control/collaborate/discuss with each
student as he or she works.

Lab 300 includes an integrated launch version of the
Library Pilot
database. The database is fully developed, integrated, and export and
import compatible with mainstream database applications.  It provides means to catalog and access information
by students, course, department, and teacher.  The Media Manager – through attributes you assign – allows
immediate access to the department’s media, without a time consuming search of a variety and number of
servers, CPUs, or Internet sites.  As a file reference search engine, Media Manager eliminates the need to
download/store digital files in more than one location.  

Lab 300 is a smart, long-term investment.  Created by Sanako Corporation, formerly Tandberg and the
undisputed world leader in multimedia language labs, the Lab 300 is the choice of recognized and reputable
learning institutions worldwide.  Software-based, totally integrated, the Lab 300 may be the last multimedia lab
you'll ever need.  You may want to ask our clients:

[ Lab 300 Features At-a-Glance ]
The Lab 300 Media Assistant (DIVACE Duo) is a true language-
study-specific media center with a program and student track. Students playback
content while simultaneously recording – then comparing – their comments,
responses, or translations, i.e., record-compare.  

With Media Assistant features, such as gap-seeking recap, text annotation, and
programmed stimulus-response exercise formats, students and instructors have
the ultimate flexibility when developing student-specific lessons. A sliding selector
and bookmarks allow a virtually limitless number of places to set listening and
viewing parameters. The Media Assistant allows student access or instructor-led
exercises from files that may be accessed from anywhere on the network.

Regardless of the source (Internet download formats, .mp3, wav, mpeg, etc.),
regardless of the medium (CD-Audio, CD-Rom, analog audio/videocassette),
Media Assistant immediately makes content available as a lesson source for
record-compare- correct to any language student.  And it offers language-study file
formatting in over 35 different digital audio/video formats.

Text annotate, program Audio-Active-Comparative-Corrective exercises, integrate instructions,
set bookmarks with titles, and you have class-, task-, and student-specific files that may be used
virtually forever.  Plus Media Assistant is the response vehicle for true-false/multiple-choice/oral
exams, all compiled and/or analyzed through the teacher computer.

Through file streaming, students get on task immediately, without waiting for a download, and
every student in the class may simultaneously access the same file, yet work independently at
his or her own pace.  In a number of formats, the Media Assistant may reside on any PC on c
ampus, allowing access to any audio/video digital media for language study, and to any text,
AACC, or integrated programmed files.

The Sanako Media Assistant (DIVACE) was the first ever virtual tape recorder and is currently the most used
language-study-specific software in the world.
