CAPPito - the digital classroom
The cAPPito automatically establishes its own WLAN network. Then the teacher and all students can select this network, start any browser and log in with their name. Of course, this can also be done with your own private devices. The teacher logs in with his master password and can start the lessons.
CAPPito - the work-making easier for the teacher
On the dashboard the teacher sees all students, can perform multiple-choice tests and automatically evaluate, start presentation, with which fileshare e.g. distribute and collect homework and send messages to the students. The system overview facilitates the handling.
CAPPito - digital lessons without internet
The cAPPito was developed in a joint development between the company Mr. Signal and Conrad Electronic SE for the digital lessons of the future. He does not need an Internet, because he brings his “own Internet”: He creates his own WLAN network, into which all log in. This system does not require any apps. One end device with a web browser is enough! It is also possible to update cAPPito and it is planned to constantly develop the functions and features of the mini-computer!
Here's how it works:
Power up and switch on the cAPPito: Automatically builds up a WLAN network within a good minute. Then the teacher and all students can select this network, start any browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera) and log in with their name. Of course, this can also be done with your own private devices. The teacher logs in with his master password, sees all children on his dashboard and can start the lessons.
Dashboard
The teacher always sees the current status of the logged-in students on his dashboard: Green if everything is OK (these then see the screen shown by the teacher) and all those who are doing something else with their mobile phone are marked red.
The teacher can do so
- Start a multiple choice test (from the questionnaire) with automatic evaluation
- show a presentation e.g. of pictures and videos
- send and receive files to all through the file share
- send a message to everyone
- get a system overview
Question Catalog (Multiple Choice)
One feature of the cAPPito is the multiple-choice test and its automatic evaluation. With this questionnaire, the tests are very easy to create and with the automatic evaluation of the results, you can immediately see how many percent of them have answered correctly or incorrectly for each question.
In the test itself, all students can answer the individual questions and at the end send the completed test back to the teacher. As long as the test has not been completed, corrections are possible: During this time you can send the test again.
This will continue until the test is complete. The teacher can then access the overview of this test under “Test Results”, where a graphic with the correctly answered questions and a table overview of all answers appears.
In this way, the teacher gets a very quick overview of whether the learning goals have been achieved and a time-consuming evaluation in the follow-up (home) is not necessary.
To assemble the test, use “+ Add Question” to create a “new question”. A title, a comment and the corresponding answers are inserted there, whereby several answers can also be correct.
Presentations
This is the presentation screen of cAPPito. Here, the teacher can convert existing PDF documents into presentations by means of the "PDF import function" and simply integrate other pictures and videos by means of “drag and drop”.
In presentation mode, the corresponding file is sent to the students' terminals. In addition, only the teacher will see the notes he has taken on each slide.
FileShare
With the Fileshare files such as worksheets, test evaluations or short videos are distributed in the class.
The files from the teacher can all be downloaded and the children can send their files to the teacher. But students cannot view or download files that have already been uploaded from other students: Like a mailbox, everyone can submit their letters, but they cannot retrieve the letters from others. Thus one can distribute the digital homework with the fileshare to all students and collect the already completed ones.
In addition, “Fileshare” under “Tips, Tricks, and Detailed Introduction” contains some video guides that explain how to use cAPPito.
Message
With the cAPPito the teacher can simply send a message to all students, which then appears as a popup on the screen, e.g. for explaining what was to be done or how much time remains for the test.
The student must confirm this with OK.
System overview
The software also enables the teacher to have an overview of the entire system, where the teacher password is also defined. There he also sees how much memory he still has free.
And here you can also set the “Waiting Screen”: This is the background image that all students see when the teacher is not sending anything.
Conclusion
The cAPPito requires neither a stable and fast Internet on site nor a complex IT infrastructure.
No apps are necessary and no constant updates - the device itself is naturally updateable.
With its clear user interface, digital teaching at every school is immediately feasible for every teacher.
BYOD Bring Your Own Device – the practical thing is that students can use their own personal devices, such as tablets, smartphones or laptops. So you don't need to buy a new set of terminals for the whole class, but it's enough if the teacher has a cAPPito (of course you need a few replacement devices for the students who forgot their cell phone, where the battery is empty, etc.).
There are already some examples installed on the device - this makes it easy to create additional files to prepare for the lessons. In addition, there are some video instructions under Fileshare.
The cAPPito is digital - all existing files, which one already possesses, can be copied to the device with a USB stick and integrated. Sharing files with other teachers is so easy.
