Product development

We are developing an exciting new feature for A+ users. This new feature is called "Kiosk Mode". It makes A+ take up the full screen on the PDA, and disables all the buttons that you normally see. This will stop students from accessing other, perhaps sensitive, areas on the PDA, playing games, or, exiting A+. If the "reset" button is pressed, A+ will start up automatically (thus closing one possible way for students to access the PDA).

Another great development is that SMS messaging will be included in First Class in Semester 2.


Did you know?

If you need to find a period where a number of teachers are free at the same time, you can do this by using the "Faculty" function. Here are the steps...

1. From the MAINTENANCE menu select FACULTY.
2. In EDIT mode, click ADD.
3. Create a new faculty with a code and name.
4. Click SAVE.
5. Re-select the new faculty.
6. Add the teachers to the faculty and save.

Next step is to find the faculty timetable.

1. From TOOLS select TIMETABLES.
2. Open the MASTER branch of the browser tree-view in the top left corner.
3. Open the FACULTY - TEACHER branch, and then the faculty you just created.

You can then view the day in the cycle on which the teachers need to be free together and locate an appropriate period.
