Genesis Typical ConfigurationA typical Genesis Flex lab consists of an instructor’s workstation and several student workstations. The instructor’s workstation will consist simply of a computer, a desk and headset.  The student workstations will also contain computers, desks, and headsets.  Genesis offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to have the custom features you need in your unique environment.

As a software-based classroom control system, Genesis Flex runs on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP computers and communicates as a system over a local area network. This network may be either wired or wireless. High-bandwidth data communication such as screen broadcasts, video broadcasts, audio communication and student grouping function smoothly and efficiently. All Genesis functions operate in real-time. When an instructor clicks a button to broadcast a student’s screen to the rest of the class, all the students see that screen immediately and as clearly as if it were their own display.  For additional in-depth information, visit the Instructor's View and Student's View pages.  A portion of the instructor's interface is shown below.
