InterCLASS^® Advance

InterCLASS® Advance / Advance Light has been enhanced to integrate with Google Classroom, allowing users to start a class with a single click from within Google Classroom. This streamlines the synchronization of class and student information, reducing the burden of class preparation and making class management more efficient. By linking with InterCLASS® Console Support, centralized class management is also possible. More diverse applications can also be expected, such as screen monitoring, checking website browsing information, and linking with Google Chat and Google Drive from within Google Classroom.

InterCLASS® Advance/ Advance Light is now equipped with a peer reference function that allows students to share their learning processes. During class, at the teacher’s instruction, students can share the web pages they are viewing with each other and refer to their classmates’ learning progress. This helps students gain new insights and discoveries, and those who are struggling can make progress with their learning by referring to others, supporting the promotion of independent learning and improving the quality of learning.

The student screen monitoring function has been enhanced to display the battery levels and communication status of student devices with icons. This prevents class interruptions due to dead batteries as a result of forgetting to charge or poor communication, creating an environment where students can concentrate on the class with peace of mind. This can also be used to check the wireless LAN environment outside the classroom, enabling stable classes regardless of location.

When the main teacher was suddenly absent or a team-teaching system was being used, handing over classes on InterCLASS® Advance/ Advance Light became problematic. To solve this, a function has been implemented that allows the main teacher to temporarily transfer their authority to a co-teacher. This function enables a smooth handover of the class to the co-teacher even when the main teacher is suddenly unwell or temporarily leaves the classroom. This guarantees children’s learning opportunities and supports smooth class management without confusion in times of need.

A series of convenient new features to solve teachers’ minor problems have been developed! Features such as a lottery function to increase student concentration and an audio transmission function that allows for instructions to be given outside the classroom reduce the burden on teachers and deepen student learning, providing a better learning environment for both teachers and students.

Users can randomly select and decide a presenter from the entire class or specific students. It is also possible to exclude students who have already presented from the lottery, encouraging each student to actively participate in the class. Furthermore, the screen of the selected presenter can be quickly shared with the entire class with a single click, allowing everyone to share the presentation content and deepen their understanding.

Using the existing “screen transmission” function, it is now possible to also transmit microphone audio. It has become easier to give direct instructions and calls to students learning outside the classroom using the teacher’s voice, and students can act smoothly without missing the teacher’s voice, leading to more efficient class management.
