Traditional language laboratories existed in one basic form for over 40 years.  They consisted of an instructor's remote monitoring and control console, with individual student tape recorders and headsets located in isolated carrels around a large room.  Computer technology created a paradigm shift in the language lab concept in the early 1990's.  Linguatronics was founded upon this new paradigm and was the first system provider to develop completely digital language lab systems built around modern computers.  While traditional language lab system manufacturers continued in the old paradigm for another decade, Linguatronics led the way to new thinking and new solutions with the introduction of Genesis.  Genesis is a software-based language lab system that runs on standard Windows computers over a standard local area network.  No proprietary hardware is required.  Genesis provides all the capabilities and features of traditional hardware-based systems, but because it is software, the costs involved are greatly reduced and the ability to upgrade and grow are greatly simplified.  Many Linguatronics customers have installed 4 or 5 Genesis language labs for less than a single traditional language lab would have cost.

Following are just a few of the system’s powerful features:

• Communicate with any student by clicking one button.
• Broadcast your screen and voice to individuals, groups or the entire class.
• Utilize built-in smart board to highlight, draw, or type on student screens.
• Teach any subject or the use of any software program.
• Remotely turn on or off any or all lab computers.
• Lock or Darken any or all lab computers.
• Automatically or manually monitor all computers in your lab. View thumbnails of all student screens simultaneously.
• Launch software or the Internet on any student screen.
• Block software or the Internet on any student computer.
• Take control of any lab computers.
• Broadcast live audio and video from any source (Tapes, CDs, DVDs, Visualizers, etc.)
• Utilize the integrated digital virtual recorder specifically designed for language learning.
• Control the students’ recording features or allow them to control their own recordings. Save their work and listen to it later.
