added a program-icon (it's very basic - if you can come up with a better-looking icon, please do so and post it here in the thread) possibility to kill stream when exiting WMDR improved error-handling (clearer messages). fixed streaming-issue in Enigma2 when changing between channels located on different transpoders would cause problems. fixed issue when using WMDR with Enigma2 outside your LocalLAN where WMDR passed on a DynDNS-address to the Dreambox instead of LocalIP-address which is the correct way. This version is more like a Service-Release fixing some bugs and introducing few new features: So if you want to use WMDR, please ensure to use VLC 1.0.5 or earlier until I have resolved this issue.Ĭhange-log: nothing so I am leaving old change-log here below: 1.1.0 and it seems like WMDR is not compatibile with the latest version of VLC. IMPORTANT () - I just tested the new version of VLC no. Hopefully, this will make it easier for new users to get WMDR working. I have attached a "step-by-step"-guide for setting up WMDR - in particular what regards streaming (it is in English but you can use Google Translation-tools to translate it to another language). For existing users, you just need to replace the old executable with the new one. For all other resolutions, please use the other one. One version is for devices using 320x240 but it should work fine also with devices having a resolution of 640x480. There you can find as usual two versions. I might implement other features in future. The reason is that I am busy with other projects. This can also be very helpful for a student that is stuck on a difficult activity, and using “Help” will not have a negative impact on a student’s score for the lesson.Īnd, of course, you can always contact us here in Customer Support! We’re always more than happy to study your student’s progress file and make recommendations.UPDATE (): No more deadlines. Remember, too, that the “Help” button is always available – one click will repeat the lesson instructions, while a second click will give more detailed instructions. Then, encourage the student to push through every lesson, even if it is a little difficult or they have to guess or make mistakes, and you should see more appropriate lessons being offered. If they are, coach them on when it is and is not appropriate to use “Stop” mid-lesson. If your student is saying that their lessons are too hard, then watch them use DreamBox for a while, to see if they are using the “Stop” button when they get frustrated. Therefore, it is very important that students do not shy away from incorrect answers – wrong answers are part of the educational experience, and this is doubly true in DreamBox Learning. However, DreamBox analyzes a student’s incorrect answers, and uses this analysis to offer the most appropriate follow-up lessons. In many cases, students who exit lessons do so because they are apprehensive about getting answers wrong. In worst case scenarios, where the student keeps exiting the same lesson repeatedly, and doesn’t try doing any other lessons, this can actually cause DreamBox to stop offering other lessons entirely! It’s hardly fair to give a student a bad grade every time they stop a lesson, so DreamBox chooses instead to ignore the results of the lesson entirely.įor this reason, if a student makes a habit of exiting lessons with the “Stop” button, instead of completing the lessons, then they won’t be assigned new, easier to understand lessons in a timely fashion. However, if a student does not complete a lesson, DreamBox does not make this assessment, as it assumes the student must leave for a non-academic reason (e.g. If a student finds that DreamBox is not making these adjustments, then you might want to check the way they are using DreamBox – chances are, they are using the “Stop” button to exit out of their lessons.ĭreamBox analyzes a student’s input on a click-by-click basis, and uses this input to assign the most appropriate follow-up lessons. As you know, DreamBox Learning’s GuideRight technology is designed to adjust the difficulty and variety of lessons offered, based on a student’s demonstrated instructional level and unique input. The short answer to this is “no, it’s not a bug”, and I will be more than happy to explain the problem. That was two weeks ago – now, she only has one activity available on her Lesson Map! This student says she’s been given the same activity over and over again, for the past two days, with no other options. However, one of my students was complaining that her activities were too hard for her. “What my students enjoyed about Dreambox initially was the fact that they’re given a variety of activities to choose from, the activities adjust to their skill level, and they don’t have to work on only one activity for long periods of time. A teacher recently contacted me with the following issue:
