On the Rooms tab, rooms can be added, modified or deleted.

New room can be added by clicking the Add New Room button then typing in the number/ name and description of the room in the corresponding fields of the prompted pop-up.

All the available rooms are listed, with their editable settings accessed by clicking the cogwheel icon in the Controls column. The icon opens the Room Settings pop-up where all devices can be assigned to the room, including cameras, manikin, and intercom device.

IMPORTANT: The CAE LearningSpace ONE Box configuration only accommodates one room, therefore the Add New Room button is not available for that configuration.

You can also add a Separate In-room Intercom device, a Separate Facilitator Intercom device and a Simlog uploader station to the room here.

Push-Button 

In the latest versions of CAE LearningSpace, besides starting and stopping a recording, Privacy mode can also be controlled by using a Push-button within the physical rooms.

When Privacy Mode is ON, no one can see through the camera feeds into the room, so complete privacy ensured. The cameras will be blocked until  Privacy Mode is turned off.




 Once a Push-button has been connected to a DAK (Digital Audio Kit) physically, and the DAK is configured on the Cameras tab,

it can be selected as a

  • Record control device
  • Privacy control device

from the following two drop-downs of the Room Settings pop-up:




A Push-button hardware can only be assigned to a room once. Once assigned, it cannot be selected from the other drop-down any longer - otherwise the following error message comes up:

(warning) One Push-button can only be added to one room within the system.


  • In case two DAKs are being used with two Push buttons (one DAK/one Push button) →  record control and privacy control can be used simultaneously.

  • By utilizing only one DAK device and  one Push button →  either record or privacy control can be managed by the Push button.

(warning) In case any of the Cameras within the room do not support Privacy Mode, the following warning message appears:
