A manually authorized (work)station is a computer located in a simulation room that is also assigned to the system version of the room in LearningSpace.
Manually authorized workstations can be used as part of a Running Non-Scheduled Activity (RNSA) or a scheduled event.
Select the name of a computer from the Hallway Station drop-down to set it up as a Hallway station.
Learner automatic forwarding only works with Hallway configuration. The same goes for SP automatic forwarding: it only works with In-room configuration. If needed, your computer can have multiple workstation functions at the same time. To apply multiple functionalities, select the same computer in the station drop-downs of your choice. |
Optional: Select a speaker or any other intercom endpoint device from the Separate In-room Intercom device or Separate Hallway Intercom device drop-downs to set up in-room or hallway loudspeakers.
Read about the specifics of each station type on the How to Configure Stations page. |
When setting up a computer as an In-room station and assigning it to a room in LearningSpace, you automatically make the SP toolbar available for SPs on that workstation.
Via the SP toolbar, you can enable Privacy Mode which allows SPs to switch off the camera feeds at any time they require privacy inside the exam room e.g. when sensitive situations occur during a physical examination. If needed, other participants of the scenario can also manage Privacy Mode on the spot if they are authorized by the SP to access their account. |
Privacy Mode can be accessed through the SP's profile from the manually authorized In-room station installed in the room where the scenario is conducted.
Privacy Mode is only available if the computer inside the exam room is added to the room in LearningSpace as an In-room station. |
Once logged in, SPs can disable or enable the live feed of the cameras of the room straight away on their Dashboard, by using the SP toolbar:
The Privacy Mode feature solely requires a valid authorized In-room workstation setup. The feature is available
|
FON Data Entry privilege users can also activate Privacy mode when logging in on an In-room station. Privacy mode is available for FON Data Entry privilege users on their dashboard, legacy homepage, classic data entry page and in Recording - Center overview, Single room view. |
In case the Privacy Mode is not available on a station used by an SP during an event, the cause of the issue can be the following:
The In-room station of the exam room is disconnected. |
A workstation might be disconnected because it has been assigned a new IP address.
By default, LearningSpace identifies devices — computers or tablets — used as stations by their IP addresses. |
Add the device manually to the system in the Stations tab, then assign it again to the room. |
